Question 4 • FL-2003010-M/J Physical Science

Which best describes a situation in which an archer’s aim was precise but not accurate?

Answer
A
a group of arrows that are all relatively near the target but are not close to each other
B
a group of arrows that are close to each other but not near the target
C
a group of arrows that are all right on the bullseye of the target
D
a group of arrows that are not near the target or each other

Explanation

Precision means the arrows land close to one another, while accuracy means they land near the target’s bullseye. A group that is close together but far from the target is precise but not accurate, so the best description is “a group of arrows that are close to each other but not near the target.”
