← ScienceWhich mechanical outcome arises from Einstein's elevator thought experiment?
A)Apparent weight becomes indistinguishable gravity✓
B)Inertial mass converts into potential energy
C)Acceleration spontaneously slows over time
D)Elevator cable snaps due excess forces
💡 Explanation
The equivalence principle posits that gravitational 'force' feels identical to acceleration. Because accelerating upwards in the elevator replicates the sensation of gravity, therefore apparent weight matches gravity rather than energy conversion because potential increases irrespective of weight.
