← ScienceWhich risk increases due to mass-energy equivalence in spacecraft?
A)Radiation effects cause electronic damage✓
B)Momentum transfer causes trajectory deviation
C)Thermal expansion joints cause leaks
D)Chemical propellant use causes fuel depletion
💡 Explanation
High-speed spacecraft experience significant relativistic effects; when kinetic energy converts to mass via mass-energy equivalence, high energy particle creation within the spacecraft increases; therefore, radiation effects are amplified, rather than trajectory deviations or fuel depletion.
