(Any unit of length or distance) divided by (any unit of time)

is a unit of speed, that can be used to describe the motion of any moving object.

In the case of cars, the units used almost universally are [ kilometer per hour ] in most

of the world, and [ mile per hour ] in the USA and a few other backward regions.

How the Doppler effect is used by the police to measure the speed of a car.?

Police use radar technology to measure the speed of a car by sending out a radio wave towards the vehicle. The radio wave bounces off the car and returns to the radar unit. The Doppler effect causes a shift in the frequency of the returning wave, allowing the radar unit to calculate the speed of the car based on this frequency shift.
