    constant acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 against the weight of the person standing in spaceship.

    Explanation:

    - At earth surface we would feel a gravitational pull of g = 9.81 m/s^2 downwards.

    - For anyone on spaceship to feel the same pull the spaceship needs to accelerate upwards at a constant acceleration of a = 9.81 m/s^2.

    - The effect of "weightlessness" is removed such that the contact force between the person on the space-ship and the person him or herself is equal to the apparent weight of the person.

    - If the spaceship accelerates constantly at 9.81 m/s^2, the apparent weight of the person would equal the actual weight on earth.
