It shows the speed and the distance the car travels.
Your speedometer is broken.
what you see when you look at the speedometer is the average distance you have traveled. notice the speedometer says mph Miles Per Hour how many miles you have traveled per hour.
yes it can
When a car is moving with constant velocity, the speedometer needle will stay steady at a particular speed. When the car is accelerating, the needle will move clockwise indicating an increase in speed. When the car is decelerating, the needle will move counterclockwise indicating a decrease in speed.
When a car is moving with constant velocity, the speedometer needle stays steady at a fixed position. However, when the car is speeding up, the needle moves clockwise indicating an increase in speed. Conversely, when the car is slowing down, the needle moves counterclockwise indicating a decrease in speed.
The reading of a speedometer in a car shows the speed of the car, not the velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes the speed and the direction of motion.
Speed - but NOT velocity.
You are not moving!
The speedometer.
When a car is moving with constant velocity, the speedometer needle will remain steady and point to a consistent speed. When the car speeds up, the needle will move clockwise to reflect the increase in speed. Conversely, when the car slows down, the needle will move counterclockwise to indicate the decrease in speed.
Because when you look at the speedometer it is telling you your speed at that particular instant in time, it changes from instant to instant.
A car's speedometer typically shows the instantaneous speed, which represents the current speed of the vehicle at any given moment. It does not show average speed or velocity.
