State the Principle of Equivalence
What will be an ideal response?
An inertial reference frame in a uniform gravitational field is physically equivalent to a reference frame that is not in a gravitational field, but that is in uniform linear acceleration.

This figure demonstrates that when the wire on the left is connected from one end of the battery to the other, producing a short circuit, the light goes out. Why does the light go out?
a. The wire causing the short circuit has much less electric resistance than the light bulb, so the voltage stays the same with much less current through the bulb than through the short circuit wire. b. The voltage drops drastically but the resistance across the circuit does not change. c. The current flows almost entirely through the added wire because of its very low resistance, and the voltage also drops drastically. d. The existence of two paths reduces the voltage across the bulb in half. e. The existence of two paths reduces the current through the bulb in half.
