← ScienceWhich consequence results when an aircraft's inertial mass increases at relativistic speeds?
A)Spacetime curvature correspondingly increases✓
B)Doppler shift cancels blue shift
C)Lift-induced drag decreases linearly
D)Engine efficiency exceeds Carnot limit
💡 Explanation
A relativistic increase in inertial mass (defined by mass-energy equivalence) necessarily increases a body's gravitational field. General relativity tells us this occurs via spacetime curvature, because mass and energy warp spacetime and we're explicitly considering *relativistic* effects, rather than altering lift or efficiency.
