Answer:

A section of the spacecraft is slowly rotated in order to simulate the force of gravity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rotational force of the spacecraft makes an artificial sort of gravity, which can be altered by changing the speed of the spinning or by moving the rotating part further/closer to the center point of rotation.
