← ScienceIn a uniformly accelerating rocket in deep space, which effect mimics gravity?
A)Inertial forces push cargo downwards✓
B)Relative velocity becomes superluminal
C)Frame dragging twists space-time
D)Quantum entanglement links distant particles
💡 Explanation
The equivalence principle states that gravity and acceleration are indistinguishable; inertial forces cause effects identical to those of a gravitational field. Therefore, the rocket's acceleration presses cargo downwards like gravity, rather than causing light speed violations.
