Which phenomenon allows accurate inertial navigation, even around curves?

💡 Explanation

Navigation requires precise acceleration measurement; the equivalence principle states gravitational acceleration cannot be distinguished from inertial acceleration, therefore a sensor in freefall measures only navigation forces, rather than net gravity and inertial force.
