Principles of Physics IV
The equivalence principle states that the effects of gravity are locally indistinguishable from acceleration, meaning that an observer in a sealed environment cannot tell if they are in a gravitational field or accelerating through space. This idea is fundamental to understanding how mass and energy are related, particularly in the context of mass-energy equivalence, where mass can be converted into energy and vice versa.
congrats on reading the definition of equivalence principle. now let's actually learn it.
