Imagine for a moment that we superimposed the velocity from a different airplane over the position graph. Clearly the two are not related, and there is no way that combining the two could possibly yield any additional information. In contrast, the velocity of this airplane tells us something very important - the direction and speed of travel. So long as the aircraft does not alter its velocity the velocity allows us to predict where the next position is. After a relatively small amount of error in velocity the probability that it is a good match with the position is very small. Think about it - if you suddenly change direction your position is also going to change a lot. If the measurement of the position is not in the direction of the velocity change it is very unlikely to be true. The two are correlated, so if the velocity changes so must the position, and in a predictable way. \n", "\n", - "It is important to understand that we are taking advantage of the fact that velocity and position are correlated.
