Which outcome occurs when an astronaut experiences sustained acceleration?

A)Increased clock rate relative to Earth
B)Decreased clock rate relative to Earth
C)Unchanged clock rate occurs
D)Synchronized clock rates across frames

💡 Explanation

Sustained acceleration simulates gravity due to the equivalence principle, causing gravitational time dilation, and thus a decreased clock rate; therefore, the Earth clock is faster rather than remaining unchanged, because it's in weaker gravity.
