← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a spacecraft with flawed navigation enters a strong gravitational field?
A)Trajectory deviates due to spacetime curvature✓
B)Communication blackout from signal absorption
C)Structural failure through tidal forces
D)Engine malfunction from quantum entanglement
💡 Explanation
The spacecraft deviates because the General Relativistic effect of gravitational curvature alters the local inertial frame, influencing predicted trajectory. Therefore, navigation becomes inaccurate rather than signal loss or structural issues because of relativistic spatial distortion.
