← ScienceWhich consequence results when inertial mass decreases near blackholes?
A)Spacetime curvature exhibits reduced warping✓
B)Gravitational time dilation strongly diminishes
C)Photon paths deflect at smaller angles
D)Hawking radiation emission rate sharply increases
💡 Explanation
According to the equivalence principle, apparent gravity is indistinguishable from acceleration; a mass decrease reduces the effect of the gravitational field thereby reducing spacetime curvature, because energy density dictates spacetime geometry, therefore less warping, rather than reduced time dilation within a gravitational well.
