← ScienceWhich effect increases when a GPS satellite's velocity increases?
A)Spacetime dilation effects on clock✓
B)Signal attenuation due to atmospheric drag
C)Doppler shift affecting the receiver
D)Gravitational blueshift of its transmission
💡 Explanation
Spacetime dilation increases because special relativity's velocity component directly contributes to time dilation effects on the satellite's onboard clock; therefore, the accuracy decreases if uncorrected, rather than effects due to atmospheric drag, which are separate disturbances.
