Which consequence results when inertial and gravitational mass equivalence are violated within a spacecraft's navigation system?

💡 Explanation

Violation of equivalence causes cumulative relativistic positioning errors because the accelerometer calibrations become inconsistent; inertial mass provides the measure for acceleration, therefore erroneous acceleration inputs affect integrations, rather than propulsion imbalances which are controlled via separate feedback loops.
