That would be a ruler, yardstick, or meterstick, depending on the system of measure you are using.

How can you curve light?
Light travels in straight lines on earth, so you can change its angle by refraction but not curve it. However over interstellar distances it has been observed that light is bent by gravitation.
Is light travel in straight line?
No. It is proven that masses cause slight deviation in the path of light. The larger the mass, the more obvious the deviation.
How do you describe distance?
Strangely enough, there are many definitions! In the Euclidean plane, the distance between any two points is the length of the straight line joining those points. This is the concept of distance most commonly used. However, day-to-day distances are often measured, not "as the crow flies", but along established roads or routes. Here, the distance between two points is the sum of point-to-point distances of straight line segments. An interesting variation is the metric variously known as Minkovski, Manhattan or Taxicab metric. Here the idea is that the distance between two points is the sum of their North-South separation and their East-West separation. See link for more. In three dimensional space, such as on the surface of the earth, distance is measured not along a straight line but along the arc of the appropriate great circle (see link for more). There is a whole branch of mathematics - metric spaces - which is the study of spaces with different metrics (or ways of measuring distance) defined for them.
What is the nautical miles distances by sea from port londontoseaportdover?
The distance between the above places is approximately equal to 4264 nautical miles. To convert miles to nautical miles, multiply the miles by 0.86. This is point to point straight distance. The actual distance will change according to the route.
How do you measure the dry and liquid ingredients?
Video: How do you measure dry ingredients?Measuring Dry IngredientsThe basics of measuring dry ingredients is the same for all, whether it's flour, sugar, salt, or another dry ingredient. To measure dry ingredients, select the appropriate measuring cup or spoon. Place the dry ingredient in the measuring device so that it fills and overflows the device. Use a utensil with a straight edge (an icing spreader works well) to scrape off the excess.Special circumstances:Flour - When measuring flour, spoon it into the measuring device and do not tap it down.Brown sugar - Pack it firmly into the measuring device.
How do you draw a 55-mm line segment?
With a straight edge measuring instrument.
What is the definition of ruler in math?
a tool used to draw straight lines or measure straight lines miss pawz: a measuring instrument :)
When you can say that a moving object is accelerating?
1). When the distances covered in two equal intervals of time are different distances. 2). When the object is not moving in a straight line.
What is harder.Measuring the circumference.Why?
To measure circumference the measuring instrument must follow the curved path exactly which will be difficult without special instruments. It is easier to calculate a circumference by measuring a straight line diameter and then multiply that dimension with Pi (3.141593....).

What do you mean by uniform and non uniform motion?
HEYAnswer:"Uniform" motion is motion with a constant speed in a straight line. Speed ordirection are not changing.If a body moving along straight line travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time, the body is said to be in Non uniform motion
An instrument used to construct straight lines?
A straight-edge
A straight musical instrument?
A tinwhistle?
Why is measuring the diameter of a circle easier than measuring the its circumference?
Because the diameter is a straight line.
How can you improvise a measuring cylinder of a graduation of 3cm interval what materials can you use?
If you need to improvise a measuring cylinder with a graduation interval of 3cm, you can use the following materials: Transparent plastic bottle: Find a clean, transparent plastic bottle with a straight cylindrical shape. Ensure the bottle has a smooth surface, preferably without any labels or markings. Ruler or measuring tape: Obtain a ruler or measuring tape with precise markings in centimetres. This will be used to measure and mark the intervals on the bottle. Permanent marker: Get a marker with a fine tip to make clear and legible marks on the bottle. Choose a colour that contrasts well with the plastic material to ensure easy visibility. Here's a step-by-step guide to improvising a measuring cylinder with a 3cm graduation interval: Clean the plastic bottle thoroughly to remove any residue or impurities. Ensure that it is completely dry before proceeding. Use the ruler or measuring tape to measure and mark intervals of 3cm along the height of the bottle. Start from the bottom and work your way up, making clear and accurate marks. Connect the marks vertically using the permanent marker, creating straight lines that indicate each 3cm interval. Make sure the lines are visible and easy to read. Optional: Label the intervals using numbers or labels to provide clear reference points. You can use the permanent marker to write directly on the bottle. Allow the markings to dry completely to prevent smudging or fading. Now you have an improvised measuring cylinder with a graduation of 3cm intervals. Remember to handle it carefully and ensure that the measurements are taken from eye level for accuracy.
What do you call an angle measuring 180degrees?

What makes up a meter stick?
measuring stick consisting of a strip of wood or metal or plastic with a straight edge that is used for drawing straight lines and measuring lengths
