trish87 has a spectacular aura about
Cheese and crackers! Get a load of these astronomy questions!?

Jackie is floating freely in her spacecraft and you are accelerating away from her with an acceleration of 1g (=9.8m/s2)

1) How will you feel in your spacecraft?

a. You will be floating weightlessly
b. You will feel weight, but less than on Earth
c. You will feel weight, but more than on Earth
d. You will feel the same weight as you feel on Earth
e. You will feel pressed onto the back of the spaceship with great force, making it difficult to move

2) Suppose you claim that you are feeling the effects of a gravitational field, how would you explain the fact that Jackie is weightless?

a. She is weightless because she is moving at constant velocity
b. She is weightless because she is in a free-float frame
c. She is weightless because she is in free-fall
d. If you are in a gravitational field, then she cannot be weightless
