Question

Einstein's Theory of General Relativity states that ________________.

• A. the speed of light is constant.
• B. physics for accelerated and non accelerated frames are not the same.
• C. gravity and acceleration are equivalent.
• D. physics for non moving and moving frames are not the same.

Answer 1

The correct option is C gravity and acceleration are equivalent.

Einstein’s theory of general relativity applies special relativity to the concept of acceleration and states the equivalence between gravitational acceleration and ordinary acceleration.

The effects caused by acceleration and the effects caused by gravity are the same.
