Which consequence arises when spacecraft thrusters near relativistic speeds?

💡 Explanation

Thrust diminishes because time dilation slows the rate of momentum transfer following the principle of equivalence. Therefore reduced thrust (B), rather than increased thrust (A), is observed as measured from an external inertial reference frame; other effects are negligible.
