How do you measure the distance of a lake?

The distance of a lake can be measured by using GPS devices, surveying tools, or mapping software. Alternatively, you could calculate the distance manually by using triangulation methods or by walking the perimeter of the lake and recording the distance covered.


Does your GPS measure walking distance accurately?

Yes, GPS devices are generally accurate in measuring walking distance. However, factors such as signal interference, tall buildings, or tree cover may impact the accuracy of the measurement.


Land speed record uses gps and laser technology to measure speed?

The land speed record is typically measured using a combination of GPS technology and laser sensors. GPS provides accurate location data, while laser technology can measure the distance the vehicle travels in a precise manner. By integrating data from both sources, an accurate speed measurement can be obtained.


What is it necessary to observe a minimum of four gps satellites to define position?

The GPS receiver measures the distance from it to a GPS satellite. Then it measures the distance to another GPS satellite. The location is somewhere on a line made up of the millions of plaes that these two distances cross each other. A third satellite distance is required to find out where your GPS receiver is, somewhere on that line.This process is called "Trilateration" (Three distances). (Not triangulation).If you want to know how high you are above sea level, you need a distance from a fourth satellite.


How scientists use GPS to measure the rate of tectonic plate movement?

Radio signals are continuously beamed from satellites to GPS ground stations, which record the exact distance between the satellites and the ground station. Over time, these distances change slightly. By recording the time it takes for the GPS ground stations to move a given distance, scientist can measure the speed at which each tectonic plate move

What functions does a personal gps system offer?

Personal GPS systems are smaller, portable GPS systems. They still have most of the capabilities of normal GPS devices including location, distance and most of the time a touch screen. There are many personal GPS systems available. http://www.nextag.com/personal-gps/compare-html


Is a GPS an imput or output device?

GPS stands for global positioning system. it is a series of outputs from the GPS satellites and then input from their relative distance from the GPS enabled device. in other words, GPS systems are not in terms of input or output, just like you do not measure distance in voltage.
