← ScienceWhich phenomenon maintains accelerometer precision on a satellite?
A)Equivalence principle prevents spurious accelerations✓
B)Doppler shift self-corrects reported velocity
C)Gravitational lensing strengthens faint signals
D)Atmospheric drag damps resonant oscillations
💡 Explanation
The equivalence principle causes gravitational and inertial accelerations to be indistinguishable, therefore any external gravitational effects are nullified, rather than allowing spurious measurements, because the accelerometer essentially 'floats' unaffected.
