For an astronaut inside an accelerating rocket which consequence arises from Einstein's equivalence principle?

A)Gravitational effects become indistinguishable from acceleration
B)Time dilation effects cancel inertial forces
C)Rocket velocity approaches the speed of light
D)Spacetime curvature ceases near the rocket

💡 Explanation

The equivalence principle asserts that gravitational and inertial forces are indistinguishable; therefore, an accelerating rocket feels identical effects to a gravitational field, because acceleration is locally equivalent to gravity rather than impacting time dilation or spacetime directly.
