Centripetal Force
... In classical mechanics, the dynamics of a point particle are described by Newton’s 2nd law, F~ = m~a, where F~ is the net force, m is the mass, and ~a is the acceleration. This equation guarantees that F~ and ~a are parallel to each other. If ~v is the velocity, by definition ~v is always parallel t ...

Artificial gravity
Artificial gravity is the theoretical increase or decrease of apparent gravity (g-force) by artificial means, particularly in space, but also on Earth. It can be practically achieved by the use of different forces, particularly the centripetal force and linear acceleration.The creation of artificial gravity is considered desirable for long-term space travel or habitation, for ease of mobility, for in-space fluid management, and to avoid the adverse long-term health effects of weightlessness.A number of methods for generating artificial gravity have been proposed, as well as an even larger number of science fiction approaches using both real and fictitious forces. Practical outer space applications of artificial gravity for humans have not yet been built and flown, principally due to the large size of the spacecraft required to produce centripetal acceleration.
