The Effects of Inertial Forces on Gravity
Inertial gravity is sometimes called artificial gravity when you use inertial forces to mimic gravity. The most simple form to do this is centrifugal forces, which are equivalent to gravity. If the if the centrifuge is too small, then this this gravity isn't uniform in the centrifuge. But if you make a centrifuge large enough, so then compared to the size of a human body, its radius is large, then you will feel a uniform gravitational field at the outskirts of the same.
