← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a satellite's proper acceleration increases?
A)Experienced gravitational force magnitude decreases✓
B)Orbital radius exponentially approaches zero
C)Time experienced relatively accelerates
D)Satellite enters into spaghettification
💡 Explanation
Increased proper acceleration implies an increased locally measured inertial force opposing gravity because of the equivalence principle; therefore, the satellite experiences less of the Earth's gravity, rather than increased time dilation effects, which result when velocity increases.
