This is a website created as a final summative for the Grade 11 Academic SciTech Physics class – SPH3UR. It is created to educate people about GPS, its functions and uses, and how it relates to kinematics. I am also a student in the SciTech program, and these types of projects which are both scientific and technological are what we frequently do. My wonderful physics teacher is Ms. Svergun, and my topic is listed below:
B1.2 assess the impact on society and the environment of a technology that applies concepts related to
Kinematics (e.g., photo radar helps prevent vehicular accidents and reduces fuel consumption associated
With excessive speeding)
Sample issue:
B1.2.1 The use of the global positioning system (GPS) increases accuracy in mapping, surveying,
Navigation, monitoring earthquakes, and tracking the movement of oil spills and forest fires, among other
Benefits. However, its extensive use raises concerns about privacy and human rights.
