← ScienceWhich outcome follows when an accelerometer in free fall registers minimal acceleration?
A)Local spacetime curvature mirrors gravity✓
B)Sensor readings indicate gravitational redshift
C)Coriolis forces negate inertial motion
D)Quantum entanglement causes measurement errors
💡 Explanation
The perceived lack of acceleration occurs because the accelerometer frame is equivalent to a gravitationally influenced frame according to Einstein's equivalence principle. Therefore, the spacetime curvature around the device is mimicking the gravity rather than altering Coriolis forces.
