A velocity measurement has two parts ... speed and direction.

Things like a car's speedometer do NOT qualify, since they measure

only speed but not direction. I've been able to think of two devices

that monitor and indicate both of those components. I hope other

contributors will drop in and add to the list.

What instrument helps you calculate the velocity of a human?

barometer


What is average velocity?

Average velocity is def.ined as the ratio of total displacement to total time taken.


What measures the atmosphere?

The atmosphere has numerous measurable properties, including pressure, temperature, humidity, velocity. Each of these is measured by a different instrument. Pressure is measured by a barometer, temperature is measured by a thermometer, etc.That would be a barometer. I assume you are referring to atmospheric pressure.


Which is an instrument commonly used to measure wind speed?

An anemometer measures wind velocity.


How do you calculate velocity of with continuous acceleration and time?

Ifv = Final velocityu = Initial velocitya = Accelerationandt = Timethen, provided the measurement units are consistent,v = u + atIfv = Final velocityu = Initial velocitya = Accelerationandt = Timethen, provided the measurement units are consistent,v = u + atIfv = Final velocityu = Initial velocitya = Accelerationandt = Timethen, provided the measurement units are consistent,v = u + atIfv = Final velocityu = Initial velocitya = Accelerationandt = Timethen, provided the measurement units are consistent,v = u + at

Is vector the same as velocity?

No. A vector is any measurement where a direction is relevant. Velocity is one such measure, but there are others, unrelated to velocity (for instance, force).


What is a vector measurement?

A measurement that has magnitude and direction. The magnitude is equal to the absolute value of the vector measurement. For example, Velocity is a vector measurement. A velocity of -20 miles per 1 second would suggest moving away from the origin point in a two-dimensional measurement at a rate of 20 miles per 1 second. The absolute value of this would be 20 miles per 1 second, which would also be the speed. Therefore, speed is the magnitude of Velocity. Subsequently, any measurement that has a magnitude, but no direction, is not a Vector measurement, but rather a scalar measurement. Some examples of vector measurements would be Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration.


What are the instrument use in measuring for velocity?

There are many instruments for measuring speed but I am not aware of any for measuring velocity.


What measurement is this 55 miles per hour?
