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.
A car has a speedometer. When you read the speed that it indicates, and you know the direction in which you're driving, then you know the car's velocity.
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
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.
A science speedometer is also known as a speed meter. It measures and displays vehicle speed only, velocity is not included.
In order to decrease your velocity, you must let your foot off of the gas pedal and hit thebrakes!A good speedometer will accurately estimate your relative velocity.
get a speedometer
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.
(acceleration X time) + beginning velocity = final speed
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.
In a car, a speedometer. At a weather station, an anemometer measures wind speed.
It shows instantaneous speed.
