Which effect becomes prominent when spacecraft velocity approaches relativistic speeds?

💡 Explanation

Time dilation becomes significant because, according to Einstein's equivalence principle, increased kinetic energy translates to increased inertial mass, slowing the spacecraft's onboard clocks, therefore perceived passing time differs from a stationary observer, rather than radiation/drag or material changes being dominant.
