Does the odometer of a car measure a scalar or a vector quantity?
Both the odometer and speedometer are scalar because a vector measurement needs a magnitude and direction. If you, for example, combined a compass and a odometer/speedometer, you'd have a vector.
Is acceleration of a car is scalar quantity?
No, acceleration is a vector quantity.
Does an odometer in a car measure distance or displacement?
Distance
What is the equipment called to measure distance traveled in a car?
odometer
How could you measure distance traveled by a car?
The vehicles odometer records the mileage for you.
What does the odometer and speedometer of a car measure?
Odos measure distance travelled, speedos measure speed at that moment.
What is the instrument used to measure distance in a car?
The instrument used to measure the total distance that a car has traveled is called an odometer.
Why does an odometer in a car measure distance?
Because that's what it's built to do.
Speed plus direction is what?
Speed is a measure of how fast an object is going. This is a scalar quantity, which means it only gives magnitude (size) information. Velocity is a vector quantity, which is very similar to speed, but it also includes direction information.Example:Speed of car = 60 km/hVelocity of car = 60 km/h in a Northwesterly direction
Does odometer in a car measure the average speed?
No, the odometer measures the distance traveled by a vehicle. The speedometer measures the speed at any given moment in time, but not the average speed.
Is energy scalar or vector quantity?
A vector has magnitude and direction. A scalar has magnitude only. A car moving 60 mph North has a specific amouunt of kinetic energy, according to the formula KE = 1/2 * mass * velocity squared. If the car is moving 60 mph South is the KE the same?? ..Yes! Energy is a scalar! Nothing squared is a vector!! Length has direction. area does not
Does the speedometerof a car read average speed or instantaneous speed?
The speedometer in a car does not measure the car's velocity because velocity is an (A) vector quantity and has a direction associated with it (B) vector quantity and does not have a direction associated with it.
