Which consequence occurs within an accelerating rocket, far from gravitational fields, due to Einstein's equivalence principle?

A)Time flows slower at the front
B)Inertial mass remains unchanged
C)Temperature stabilizes uniformly
D)Pressure increases uniformly

💡 Explanation

The rocket experiences a pseudo-gravitational field causing time dilation (gravitational time dilation), because of general relativity applied through the equivalence principle. The front of the rocket is at a higher effective potential; therefore, time there flows slower compared to earth not accelerating near any gravitational sources, rather than uniformly.
