Which condition results when gravitational mass is equivalent to inertial mass in an elevator?

A)Apparent weight remains unchanged
B)Increased Coriolis force detected
C)Reduced upward normal contact
D)Inertial frame becomes non-existent

💡 Explanation

Apparent weight is unchanged during equivalence because the equivalence principle causes the sensation of gravity equal to acceleration; therefore, the normal force pressing back on is similar to gravity rather than other artificial forces being felt.
