How many pedometer steps equal 5 kilometers?

What part of speech is pedometer?
The word 'pedometer' is a noun, a singular, common, concrete noun; a word for an instrument for estimating the distance traveled on foot by recording the number of steps taken; a word for a thing.
Who invented pedometer?
The Romans used an odometer calibrated to steps to measure distances for military and civil purposes, although technically this is not a step counter. The modern all-mechanical pedometer was introduced later to the Americans by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson obtained a unit from France, but it is not known if he modified the design, or introduced it to the US as is. Although this pedometer is widely attributed to Jefferson, proof is difficult to obtain as he never applied for any patents on any of his inventions. In 1780, Abraham-Louis Perrelet created the first pedometer, measuring the steps and distance while walking.
How do pedometers count steps?
Pedometers contain motion sensors to help count steps. For each step that is taken, the pedometer shakes a tiny bit with the movement of the walker's body. This movement is registered as a step.
What is a sentence with the word pedometer in it?
