In a rotating spaceship, to produce artificial gravity, what does the centripetal force do?
Answer: Pushes the objects towards the outer wall
Explanation
In a rotating spaceship, to produce artificial gravity, the centripetal force pushes the objects towards the outer wall.
This force acts outward on the objects inside the spaceship, simulating the effect of gravity.
