The weightlessness experienced while orbiting the Earth in a spaceship is the result of:

A. Centripetal acceleration
B. Zero acceleration due to gravity
C. Inertia
D. Non

(Note: Since option "D" seems incomplete, it should be clarified. If "Non" was intended to be "None of the above," it should be rewritten as such. Here is the corrected version with that assumption.)

Final answer:

Weightlessness in orbit is caused by free fall under the influence of gravity, creating a feeling of weightlessness despite gravity's presence.


Explanation:

Weightlessness experienced by astronauts in orbit is the result of free fall accelerated by gravity. Even though gravity is present, everything inside the spacecraft falls at the same rate, creating a sensation of weightlessness. This occurs because there is no force other than gravity acting on the objects in the spacecraft.
