← ScienceWhich outcome affects GPS satellite clock rates demonstrating the equivalence principle?
A)Time dilation from motion mismatch✓
B)Increased signal atmospheric scattering
C)Reduced orbital solar radiation
D)Gravitational frame space contraction
💡 Explanation
Time dilation impacts satellite clocks because motion relative to Earth and altitude cause different gravitational potential based on the equivalence principle. The difference in clocks are corrected rather than allowing positional errors to accumulate; therefore time dilation matters, and orbital mechanics can still be calculated
