GPS is a system made up of three parts (satellites, ground stations, and receivers) that help in determining ground location with incredible precision. The satellites continuously transmit a signal and its receiver calculates its distance from the satellite. The positions of the satellites are used by the receivers as reference points to determine the location of the GPA receiver.

For instance, when a hiker gets lost in the woods and has access to a GPS receiver, he will easily be able to determine his current location. Marking his starting location on a GPS receiver will also assist him into finding his way back.

Analyze the impact of Robert Boyle’s work on science today. Use examples to support your answer.
Dennis_Churaev [7]
One of the major contribution of Robert Boyle is "Boyle's Law" which states <span> that the pressure exerted by a gas state is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature which in fact should be in a closed system; which means that if pressure increases the volume will decrease as well. 

Some basic examples would be:

1. A balloon that has too much air will pop.
2. Pumping a tire can have its limit.
3. When we open soda cans.</span>
