The child in Question 29 enters a circular orbit at constant speed around a distant planet. The spacecraft’s centripetal acceleration is 10 (meters per second) per second. Would her apparent weight be less than, equal to, or more than 200 newtons? Why?

Reference of question 29

If a child weighs 200 newtons standing at rest on Earth, would her apparent weight be less than, equal to, or more than 200 newtons if she were in a spaceship accelerating at 10 (meters per second) per second in a region of space far from any celestial objects? Why?
