← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when thrust is applied to an ideal rocket experiencing spactime curvature?
A)Velocity gain reduces experienced acceleration✓
B)Fuel burn rate decreases exponentially
C)Gravitational assist becomes maximal
D)Invariant mass increases asymptotically
💡 Explanation
Increased local spacetime curvature, which the rocket accelerates to overcome, means velocity gains reduce the experienced local acceleration because of the Einstein equivalence principle; therefore, net thrust perceived declines, rather than the ship instantly achieving the prior nominal escape trajectory.
