Which result was caused when a catapult consistently misfired?

💡 Explanation

Systematic errors arise from imperfections that cause projectiles to deviate consistently because consistent errors occur in release, therefore projectile misses rather than random shot dispersion, since slight asymmetries accumulate with each launch.
