ARE GPS
MEASUREMENTS ACCURATE OR PRECISE?
- Did every marble hit the same spot on
the floor each time?
- Were your results accurate, precise,
both or neither?
- What happened to your results when you
changed the number of trials from 10 to 20? When the force on the
marble changed?
- Which changes increased the accuracy
and precision of your data? What decreased it?
- What are sources of error in your
experiment that could cause these differences?
- What do you think would happen if you
changed the height of the tube? or if the system were setup under
water?
- How does this relate to what you know
about the way GPS measurements are made?
- What can you think of that would cause
errors in GPS measurements?
