Simulated Gravity

What is it?
 Simulated Gravity, is the generation of a
gravitational force, artificially through engineering a
specific way of generating the force.

That means that Simulated Gravity is just a way of making a
gravitational force, in an area where there is not one.
Where Can It Be Seen
 In future there will be space stations, and in order for
those to habit people to live in, through a centrifugal
force, the simulated gravity would allow humans to
live normally in space.
Simulated Gravity
 On Earth, everyone experiences the force 1G on the
surface


G is a g force, which is the force of gravity
When flying and on other things like roller coasters, the force
of gravity increases on you
 Simulated gravity for the future will try to generate
the 1 G force, so people can live regularly.
 In the book, it is demonstrated through a bike tire
that is spinning to create a force 1 G for the lady
bugs, so that they feel as if nothing has changed
Star Trek/Star Wars
 Simulated gravity can be seen by these Sci-Fi movies,
in which they are able to ride these ships and live in
space stations without the feeling of weightlessness,
which through simulated gravity they are able to
remain anchored to the floors.
Review Question
 Why would orbiting space stations that simulate gravity
likely be large structures?


They would be large structures because mass is what causes an
attraction to each other, we are attracted to the Earth because it is
very large and is spinning, and thus we have the generation of
gravity. So in the future, a large mass that is spinning will be able to
generate something close to what the Earth generates and it will be
able for us live as if nothing has changed because there is a force
relative to that of the one from Earth.
In simpler words, it is easier to generate a force of 1G with a large
mass because it has a strong pull on us, and when it spins it greaters
the force, and that is what gravity is, that is what a g force is.
