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?

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)
