← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the principle of equivalence is violated by a modified inertial navigation system?
A)Velocity calculations become path-dependent✓
B)Gyroscopic drift increases exponentially
C)Doppler shift readings become inverted
D)Accelerometer bias fluctuates randomly
💡 Explanation
When equivalence isn't ensured, spurious accelerations affect the integration, causing Velocity calculations to become dependendent on prior trajectory because the sensor cannot distinguish inertia from gravity's effect. Therefore, path dependence occurs, rather than simple drift, inverted shifts or fluctuating biases.
