← ScienceWhich effect occurs upon gravity probe-A achieving apoapsis?
A)Gravitational time dilation decreases slightly✓
B)Orbital velocity increases temporarily
C)Spacecraft temperature drops precipitously
D)Communications bandwidth reaches maximum throughput
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation decreases because equivalent potential increases during apoapsis via the equivalence principle; therefore observed time slows less relative to Earth rather than an increase in orbital velocity, which drops when radial separation increases.
