Which phenomenon causes increased observed weight upon acceleration by astronauts?

💡 Explanation

The increased weight on accelerating astronauts happens because gravity and constant acceleration are locally indistinguishable, according to the equivalence principle of general relativity; therefore, the effect mimics a gravitational force on them, rather than increased radiation dose.
