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.
Difference with speed and velocity?
Speed rate of change on position (meter per second{m/s}) Velocity speed with direction
Is speed meter measure velocity?
no ... not SPEED OF A MOVING CAR ......IT is to measure the average speed of a carThis can help :DRoy , Brunei
Could speed or velocity exist without time?
Speed is scalar quantity where as velocity is vector quantity. Unit is same as distance by time i.e. meter per second, kilometer per hour. Hence, either speed or velocity does not exist without time.
An automobile speedometer is configured to read speed proportional to the rotational speed of its wheels If larger wheels such as snow tires are used will the speedometer reading be high low or no dif?
Larger tires will make the speedo lower than actual speed.
How is speed tested?
by a speed gun or speedo meter?

The tacnomerter is not reading correctly on my 2004 lasabrea?
Can be VSS - variable speed sensor an electrical part that is mounted on transmission it senses road speed, transmission speed & displays this on the dash board as speedometer reading if it is not working properly speedo and/or cruise control will read incorrectly
