Do you mean Doppler radar?
If so, Doppler radar measures velocity. It's a specialized radar that makes use of the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. It does this by beaming a microwave signal towards a desired target and listening for its reflection, then analyzing how the frequency of the returned signal has been altered by the object's motion. This variation gives direct and highly accurate measurements of the radial component of a target's velocity relative to the radar. Doppler radars are used in aviation, sounding satellites, meteorology, police speed guns, and radiology.
The specific term "Doppler Radar", due in part to its extremely common use by television meteorologists in on-air weather reporting, has erroneously become popularly synonymous with the type of radar used in meteorology. Most modern weather radars use the pulse-Doppler technique to examine the motion of precipitation, but it is only a part of the processing of their data. So, while these radars use a highly specialized form of Doppler radar, the term is much broader in its meaning and its applications.

What do they use to measure the speed of a slapshot?
To measure the speed of a slapshot in hockey, a radar gun is commonly used. The radar gun emits a signal that bounces off the puck and calculates its speed based on the return signal. This provides an accurate measurement of the speed of the slapshot.
What are two metric units that measure the length of a bus?
Two metric units that can measure the length of a bus are meters and centimeters.
What are to units that scientists use to measure temperature?
To measure temperature, scientists use:KelvinCelsiusFahrenheit.
How Doppler radar can be used to measure the intensity of precipitation?
forecaster might determined by the colour code
What would you use in metric units to measure someone's mass?
You would use kilograms (kg) to measure someone's mass in metric units.
Are radars and chronometers alike?
No. RADAR stands for RAdio Direction And Ranging. RADAR uses the reflection of pulses of radio waves from objects to measure the direction and range (distance) of the objects from the RADAR unit. Some RADAR units also measure relative speed by measuring the Doppler frequency shift. Chronometers are simply very precise clocks.
What scientific instruments are used to measure speed?
Instruments used to measure speed include radar guns, LIDAR devices, and GPS units. These instruments work by calculating the speed of an object based on its distance traveled over time.
What is square units measure?
Square units measure area.
Is there a radar detector that also has GPS?
Several companies like Beltronics and Uniden make gps units that feature radar detecting features but it is probably for the best to by separate stand alone units.
What do sciencetists to measure speed?
Scientists use various instruments to measure speed, such as radar guns, Doppler radar, and stopwatch. Radar guns emit radio waves to measure the speed of moving objects, while Doppler radar uses reflected signals to calculate speed. Stopwatches are used to measure the time it takes for an object to travel a known distance, allowing for the calculation of speed.
What is the measure of the number of units square?
Area is a measure of square units.

What does radar for?
Radar is a system that uses radiowaves to measure things like size, distance and speed of a specific object.
