Which observation would occur when an accelerometer inside a freely falling elevator breaks?

💡 Explanation

The accelerometer measures zero because of Einstein's equivalence principle asserting that gravity's effects within a falling frame and acceleration are indistinguishable; therefore, inertial forces cancel gravitational forces rather than create an imbalance, as it would in fixed frame.
