← ScienceWhich phenomenon dominates when comparing gravitational and inertial reference frames?
A)Spacetime curvature mirrors gravitational potential✓
B)Inertia reduces effective gravitational mass
C)Velocity decreases measured gravitational resistance
D)Mass increases with object's relativistic acceleration
💡 Explanation
Spacetime curvature demonstrates the equivalence principle because locally, the effects of gravity are indistinguishable from acceleration; therefore, the geometry is warped reflecting gravitational potential rather than mass increase which is related to relativistic speeds.
