Does a speedometer both measure speed and velocity?
No. A speedometer only measures speed. You also need a position sensor or direction vector coupled with the speedometer in order to know velocity, because velocity includes direction.
Does the reading of the speedometer of a car show the speed or velocity of the car?
The speed of the car. The speed-o-meter only shows a magnitude ( or a number ) and to tell the velocity of a car it would have to give that speed some direction. Since the speedometer assigns no direction to the car, the number assigned as the speed of the car cannot be the velocity of the car.
What type of velocity does the speedometer on a car measure?
The speedometer on a car measures the vehicle's instantaneous speed or linear velocity, which is the rate of change of its position over time. This velocity indicates how fast the car is moving at any given moment.
Does the speedometer of a car measure speed or velocity?
Velocity is the same as speed. Velocity is normally used in technical terms. Speed is a general term. The SI unit for velocity is m/s =Metres per second. People can relate better to Miles per Hour for a vehicle. It is still distance/Time.
Does a car's speedometer show instantaneous speedaverage speedand velocity?
A car's speedometer typically shows the instantaneous speed, which is the speed at a specific moment in time. It does not typically show average speed, which can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. Velocity, on the other hand, includes both the speed and the direction of motion.
Does both car have same velocity If a speedometer on a car travelling north reads 65 km per hr and it passes another car travelling south at 65 km per hr.?
No, the car donot have same velocity.

The speedometer of a car moving to the east reads 100km per hr and it passes another car that moves to the west at 100km per hr so do both cars have the same velocity please explain?
Velocity is direction and speed so the vehicle do not have the same 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.
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.
Is a car's speedometer show instantaneous speed average speed or velocity?
A car's speedometer typically shows the instantaneous speed, which represents the current speed of the vehicle at any given moment. It does not show average speed or velocity.
What instrument measures velocity?
In a car, a speedometer. At a weather station, an anemometer measures wind speed.
How do you find the velocity of a car?
1). Read the speedometer in the dash. 2). Look out the window and note the direction in which you're headed. Those two pieces of information ... the car's speed and direction ... make up its velocity.
