Which outcome results when assuming inertial-gravitational 'equivalence' in a local setting containing a freely-falling elevator?

💡 Explanation

Acceleration mimics gravitational effects because Einstein's equivalence principle posits their indistinguishability; therefore, an observer within the elevator perceives effects identical to gravity, rather than detecting spacetime curvature directly or measuring potential energy differences in a globally static environment.
