Acceleration at 1g in space -- Does it create a gravitational field?

[QUOTE="Nugatory, post: 6623453, member: 382138"] Presumably the body has some mass, and every mass has a gravitational field, so yes. We can plug the mass into Newton's gravitational law ##F=Gm_1m_2/r^2## to see the effect of its gravitational field. You posted this in the classical physics forum and as far as classica physics is concerned it is irrelevant that the body is accelerating - its mass is what it is, and that's what determines the gravitational field. If we were also considering relativistic effects we would have to make a small correction for the effects of the energy doing the accelerating, but in practice these effects are negligibly small.
