Both of these examples are cases of free fall, so the accelerometer reading will be zero.
Does it mean that they are absolutely not accelerating?

Unexpected results come from false assumptions.

Hamdani, I would suggest that you should investigate the difference between proper acceleration and coordinate acceleration yourself, rather than listen to my explanation(I have been known to be error prone in this area).

Did I really say that?
