← ScienceWhich effect occurs in a rocket undergoing constant acceleration?
A)Temporal distortion matching gravity✓
B)Decreased inertial mass effects
C)Reduced proper length observed
D)Increased gravitational wave emission
💡 Explanation
The accelerated rocket experiences equivalent effects to a continuous gravitational field because of the principle of equivalence; therefore, astronauts observe time dilation that matches that of gravity, rather than length contraction or waves under uniform acceleration.
