Which outcome occurs when a satellite's operational altitude increases, changing gravity?

💡 Explanation

Due to the equivalence principle, a change in gravitational potential causes time dilation; a weaker gravity field results in faster proper time passage on board, because objects seek a state of lowest energy; therefore time increases, rather than period decreasing.
