Advantages of GPS and satellite-based navigation are as follows:
• It is a convenient tool that helps navigate the next turn and distance is going to be in the journey
• The voice activation feature of GPS helps drivers detect the address accurately to lead the car in the right direction
• It is a powerful tool to track different vehicles' position that helps in controlling traffic from the remote area
• It pinpoints the device location with accuracy and proper coordination
• It is also useful in calculating the device directly and moving speed of the vehicle
• It provides aid to the soldiers to navigate the opposition's activities without the help of any maps. It is an automatic reporting system where the position can be tracked from the control room.
1. Suppose that, at some moment, my phone says the time is T and the clock aboard the GPS satellite says the time is Ts. Because the GPS satellite is moving, the theory of relativity says that these two numbers will be different, even if both clocks are perfectly accurate. Specifically: where v is the velocity of the satellite and c is the speed of light (a) Use the internet to look up the value of c, and to look...
CASE APPLICATION 2 Shifting Direction As the global leader in satellite navigation equipment, Garmin Ltd. recently hit a milestone number. It has sold more than 100 million of its products to customers from motorists to runners to geocachers and more who depend on the company's equipment to "help show them the way." Despite this milestone, the company's core business is in decline due to changing circumstances. In response, managers at Garmin, the biggest maker of personal navigation devices, are shifting...
please show all steps Suppose that a GPS satellite B is located 300 mi due east of GPS satellite A in the space. A car received the signal from B 1196.8 microseconds (us) before it received the signal from A. If the signal travels at the speed of 900ft/js, find Cartesian equation of the hyperbola on which the car lies. 300ml B VORT 1000D NOT HTAM EMAX AMOR
1. (5 pts.) What is the length of a single cycle, or wave, of the LI signal? 2. (5 pts.) Which of the following is not contained in in the Navigation Code? (a) Ionospheric data (b) Receiver clock correction (c) Doppler constant (d) Ephemeris 3. (5 pts.) That part of the Navigation Code which allows derivation of the satellite's position and velocity is called the 4. (5 pts.) Solution of four unknowns is required to position a GPS receiver. What...
1. What do you understand by Global Navigation Satellite System and Remote Sensing Satellites? How are they similar and how are they different? 2. From the online sources please find two geospatial databases in the field you are interested in. Please provide the name and link to the dataset. Please use information available on the website to describe them based on the following characteristics a. Source (Which organization collects it and how?) b. Coverage (Global vs. national vs. local, only...
a) Estimate the time in miliseconds taken for a signal to reach the Earth's surface from a GPS satellite knowing that the GPS satellite is at a distance of 21500 km and the radio signal travels at the speed of light which is 3x10 m/s with assuming that the speed of the signal is unchanged over the whole path length (5 marks) b) Calculate the power of the signal in watts per square meter on the surface of the Earth...
A satellite is launched to orbit the Earth at an altitude of 3.55 107 m for use in the Global Positioning System (GPS). Take the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 1024 kg and its radius 6.38 106 m. (a) What is the orbital period, in hours, of this GPS satellite? (b) With what speed, in m/s, does it orbit the Earth?
A manufacturer of GPS systems has an annual cost of goods sold of $7 million a year and an average inventory of $4.9 million. The GPS navigation systems manufacturer has hired a consultant to help them increase their inventory turns. They claim that by implementing a new IT system for managing their inventory, the GPS systems company will be able to increase its inventory turns to 4 times per year. What would be the average amount of inventory (in million...
A satellite is launched to orbit the Earth at an altitude of 2.85 times 10^7 m for use in the Global Positioning System (GPS). Take the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 times 10^24 kg and its radius 6.38 times 10^6 m. What is the orbital period of this GPS satellite? With what speed does it orbit the Earth? What distance does the satellite cover in one revolution? m/s
A satellite is launched to orbit the Earth at an altitude of 1.75 x10*7 m for use in the Global Positioning System (GPS). Take the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 x10*24 kg and its radius 6.38 x10*6 m. (a) What is the orbital period, in hours, of this GPS satellite? (b) With what speed, in m/s, does it orbit the Earth?
