Which result follows from the equivalence principle applied inside a windowless accelerating room?

A)Gravity and room acceleration are interconvertible✓

B)Inertial mass and position remain distinguishable

C)Room rotation rate exactly equals gravity

D)Frame dragging cancels room acceleration vector

💡 Explanation

Gravity and constant acceleration are equivalent by the equivalence principle; therefore, an observer within the accelerating windowless room cannot distinguish between gravity and the room's acceleration, rather than being able to detect frame rotation because spacetime curvature varies.
