ABSTRACT: According to the equivalence principle, the accelerating field and the gravitational field are considered to be completely equivalent. But after carefully studying the two most classic acceleration systems,i.e. the uniform acceleration elevator and the uniform rotating disc, the author has discovered that there is only partial equivalence instead of complete equivalence between the above two acceleration systems and the gravitational field.
