← ScienceWhich measurement error emerges when an inertial guidance system misinterprets gravity?
A)Apparent velocity shift✓
B)Accumulated timing drift
C)Inertial frame quantization
D)Sensor resonance cascade
💡 Explanation
The equivalence principle states acceleration is indistinguishable from gravity; therefore, the system incorrectly integrates the sensed acceleration as vehicle motion, leading to an apparent velocity shift, because accelerometer errors are integrated, rather than simply position offsets.
