← ScienceWhich consequence results when inertial and gravitational mass equivalence are violated within a spacecraft's navigation system?
A)Accumulation of relativistic positioning errors✓
B)Unstable propulsion output oscillations occur
C)Compromised structural tensile strength forms
D)Excessive cosmic radiation particle collection
💡 Explanation
Violation of equivalence causes cumulative relativistic positioning errors because the accelerometer calibrations become inconsistent; inertial mass provides the measure for acceleration, therefore erroneous acceleration inputs affect integrations, rather than propulsion imbalances which are controlled via separate feedback loops.
