How does a wind vane record weather?
A wind vane measure wind direction. It doesn't measure wind speed, it tells which direction the wind is coming from and which direction it is currently blowing.
How can the speed of light and a laser beam be used to measure the distance between two satellites?
As the speed of light is thought to be an absolute speed (it is not, but close enough) we use it and a time frame, usually a year, to describe how far things are away. The term is : Light Year ( the distance light will travel in a year ) roughly 6 trillion miles For instance the closest star is thought to be four light years away.

What is the purpose of a laser tachometer?
Laser tachometer are instruments used to measure the rotation speed of a shaft or disk, as in motor or other machine. They usually display the revolutions per minute (RPM) on a calibrated analogue dial or digital display.
What equipment is used to measure distance and time during an attempt to set a new land-speed record?
Photo sensors and chronometers are used to check for the speed. The vehicle breaks the photo sensor beam, and the chronometers record the speeds.
