What is a common instrument for measuring distance?
-- ruler -- tape measure -- meter stick -- yardstick -- car's odometer -- laser rangefinder -- split-image rangefinder
Does the kilometre indicator in a car display its distance or displacement?
Distance. If you drive away from the house one morning, drive around town all day, and return home in the evening, the odometer properly registers several kilometers added, but the day's dislacement is zero. Even better: If you've owned the car for a year, the odometer may well display 20 thousand kilometers, although the car sits parked in the same garage today as the one where it sat on the day you bought it.
How distance and speed in the motions of clock parts are used to measure time?
How you can use the speedometer and a clock to tall how far you've traveled in a car if the cars odometer is not working. Hint assume you are traveling at a constant velocity
A radio controlled car rolls 10 m south then reverses direction and rolls 8 m north The car has traveled a distance of 18 m and has a displacement of m south?
2
What tells you the distance a car has traveled?
In a car the Odometer will show you the distance travelled. In mathematics you would need to know the average speed the car was travelling at and the time that it was travelling for. Divide the average speed by 360 to get how many units of distance were covered per second. Muliply this by the number of seconds the car was travelling for. The result will be the distance, in the same unit of distance as the speed was measured in. Example, Average speed = 30km per hour Time = 15 minutes (900 seconds) Distance = (Average Speed/360)*Time = (30/360)*900 = 7.5 (km)
Does the odometer in my car measure the distance or the displacement of my travel under what condition would my distance and displacement have the same magnitude explain?
The odometer in your car measures the total distance traveled, not displacement. Distance is the total length of the path taken, while displacement is the shortest path from the initial to the final position. They would have the same magnitude when you travel in a straight line from your starting point to your ending point without changing directions.
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.
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.
Why does an odometer in a car measure distance?
Because that's what it's built to do.
What does the odometer and speedometer of a car measure?
Odos measure distance travelled, speedos measure speed at that moment.
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.
What measures odometer in the car?
The odometer measures the distance the car has travelled.
What tool would you use to measure the distance from Boston to New York?
I would use the odometer on my car. If that does not help I would use a map and a ruler and measure it to scale.
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.
Does odometer of a car measure a scalar quantity?
Yes.
What was the odometer used for?
to record the distance a car travels
