← ScienceWhich risk increases when GPS satellite clocks desynchronize due to increased velocity?
A)Positional data becomes increasingly inaccurate✓
B)Signal latency causes cascading system failures
C)Increased energy consumption drains satellite
D)Onboard cooling overloads GPS receivers
💡 Explanation
Desynchronization causes inaccuracies because relativistic effects induce time dilation. The relative velocity affects spacetime, altering clock rates. Positional data gets corrupted, rather than signal latency or temperature, because clock drifts accumulate.
