In a uniformly accelerating rocket far from any gravitational field, which phenomenon mimics gravity according to Einstein's equivalence principle?

A)Inertial forces acting on masses
B)Shapiro delay of light beams
C)Lorentz contraction along rocket's axis
D)Quantum entanglement between particles

💡 Explanation

Einstein's equivalence principle equates gravity and acceleration; therefore, inertial forces acting on masses in the accelerating rocket are indistinguishable from gravity because a mass experiences the force of F=ma in both scenarios, rather than effects involving photons or entanglement.
