ANSWERS FULLY SOLVED
●● What major advancement contributed to the M&S community in the
early 1960s?.
Answer: Naval War College replaces analog wars with digital version
wars
●● Why is the use of M&S not fully reliable?.
Answer: M&S did not adequately simulate various human elements
●● Categorize each of the following statements with the correct term.
Answer: variables - fuel or munition expenditure
boundaries - imaginary line that designates a specific area of interest
control functions - removing the governor off of a tank to increase speed
forcing functions - impending thunderstorm that would affect terrain
parameters - characterize constant elements
●● Categorize the physical, mathematical, and process models into their
own separate groups.
, Answer: mathematical model - models that describe both an object and
the objects performance using a variety of numerical values and
mathematical equations
process model - graphic representations that model the specific
processes performed by a system
physical model - models that closely resembles the physical qualities of
the system being modeled
●● Categorize the terms polygon, pixel, fidelity, and resolution with the
correct definition.
Answer: fidelity - the level of precision implemented in the real world
aspects represented in a model or simulation
polygon - flat plane figure consisting of at least three different sides
pixel - the smallest visual unit that is visible to the naked eye on a
computer-based image
resolution - visual accuracy of a specific representation when compared
to the real world
●● Categorize each term with the correct definition.
Answer: Stochastic - refers to a simulation that utilizes a group of
random variables over time
Aggregation - condensing of several different things considered or
grouped together as a whole
Deterministic - refers to a simulation that doesn't lean on probabilistic or
random components to generate results
