← ScienceWhich consequence manifests in GPS satellites because spacetime?
A)Gravitational time dilation occurs differently✓
B)Signal speed becomes functionally infinite
C)Orbit precession matches perfectly predictions
D)Relativistic mass matches observed momentum
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation shifts clocks on satellites; the satellite experiences weaker gravity, so time passes faster, therefore time dilation is significant, rather than negligible kinematic effects at low speeds.
