← ScienceWhich outcome results when a GPS satellite's inertial and gravitational mass equivalence is not accounted for?
A)Excessive Doppler shift appears
B)Navigation errors accumulate rapidly✓
C)Atomic clock drift accelerates
D)Antenna signal strength diminishes
💡 Explanation
Navigation errors accumulate rapidly because ignoring Einstein's Equivalence Principle causes errors in properly synchronizing clocks via relativistic time dilation; therefore positioning becomes inaccurate, rather than just frequency shifting being affected under fixed offset, at fixed signal strength.
