Does speedometers of a car measures its velocity full explain?

No. Velocity consists of a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude of velocity is called "speed", and that's what the speedometer measures. But it displays no information concerning the direction in which the car is moving.

Can velocity be transferred?

Yes. If a fast moving body has an impact with another fast moving body, the velocity of that initial body will be transferred into the latter body.

What is velocity the same as?

Velocity is a relative term. If we call that the object is moving and in particular direction, then there must be another object present, from witch it is moving away. and we can not say, witch object is moving away. If all object maintain the same position in respect to each other then, we will call them to have zero velocity.


What is the same as zero velocity?

Does a cars speedometer measure speed or velocity or both?

Yes it does, it measures miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (kph), which is basically your speed. Some cars have speedometers that go up to a higher or lower speed, but don't worry about that. Also there tends to be more kilometers per hour than miles per hour on any given speedometer.
