The question can be understood in to different ways:
1. What is the standard measurement unit at sea?
This would be the knot, which is equal to 1 nautical mile per hour. A nautical mile is about 1.8 km.
2. In a ship, how navigators can tell how fast is the ship going?
There are a few ways to do that. One is to plot your position in a chart, maintain course and speed and after a while plot again the position, knowing time elapsed and distance traveled, you can then calculate average speed. Another one is by using a device called a speed log (there are several types). A third one, is to get a readout from your GPS receiver's display.
What else can I help you with?
What the units that ships speed are measured by?
nautical miles
How do you measure speed of ships?
The speed of ships is typically measured using a device called a speed log, which calculates the speed based on the rotation of a propeller or paddle wheel. Other methods include using radar to track the ship's movement over a known distance or using satellite-based systems like GPS to determine the ship's speed.
How is the deadliest tornado measured?
Its is measured by speed,power,andwind speed
What is the speed of ships measured in since the Tudor times?
Since Tudor times, the speed of ships has typically been measured in knots. A knot is defined as one nautical mile per hour, which is approximately 1.15 miles per hour or 1.85 kilometers per hour. This measurement is based on the distance covered over water, making it particularly suitable for maritime navigation. The term "knot" originates from the practice of using a rope with knots to measure a ship's speed.
What is the speed of an airplane measured in?
its measured in Knots
Is wind speed measured by a barometer?
No. A barometer measures pressure. Wind speed is measured by an anemometer.
How is processer speed measured?
Computer processing speed is measured in IPS (Instructions per second).
Is a keyboards capacity measured is it by size or speed?
it is measured in speed because of how fast it can transfer to the screen
How was the speed of light measured?
In light speed.
How is speed measured?
Speed is measured by calculating the distance you have gone and how long it took you to get there. speed = distance over time
What is speed measured as?
speed over distance or speed/Distance.
Instrument that measured wind speed and direction?
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
