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
How could you measure distance traveled by a car?
The vehicles odometer records the mileage for you.
What is the equipment called to measure distance traveled in a car?
odometer
What does the odometer and speedometer of a car measure?
Odos measure distance travelled, speedos measure speed at that moment.
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
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
Is it scalar or vector when a car stops at a stop sign?
It is neither a scalar or a vector? Scalar and vectors are used to describe quantities, for example scalars include distance and mass, while vectors include weight and velocity. We do not say that a situation is a scalar or a vector.
Does the reading of a speedo meter of a car show the speed or velocity of a car?
The reading of a speedometer in a car shows the speed of the car, not the velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes the speed and the direction of motion.
