Answer:

His general theory includes uniform and accelerated motion, but his special theory applies only to uniform motion.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Einstein's 1915 general theory of relativity, the force of gravity arises from the curvature of space and time.

According to theory of special relativity:

1. The laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers

2. The speed of light in a vacuum was independent of the motion of all observers.

His general theory includes uniform and accelerated motion, but his special theory applies only to uniform motion.
