What type of velocity does the speedometer on a car measure?
The speedometer on a car measures the vehicle's instantaneous speed or linear velocity, which is the rate of change of its position over time. This velocity indicates how fast the car is moving at any given moment.
Does the speedometerof a car read average speed or instantaneous speed?
The speedometer in a car does not measure the car's velocity because velocity is an (A) vector quantity and has a direction associated with it (B) vector quantity and does not have a direction associated with it.
A 80 kg student traveling in a car with a constant velocity has a kinetic energy of 1.5 x104 J What is the speedometer reading of the car in?
Kinetic energy = 1/2 M V21/2 (80) V2 = 15,000V2 = 15,000/40 = 375V = sqrt(375) = 19.365 meters/secIf the student is enrolled at the Sorbonne or McGill, the speedometer reads 69.7 km/hr.If the student goes to MIT or Univ. of Rochester, the speedometer reads 43.3 mph .
Does a cars speedometer measure the speed or the velocity of an object?
A car's speedometer measures the vehicle's speed.Speed is a scalar unit that only accounts for rate of movement (Example: 50 meters/second).Velocity is a vector unit that accounts for rate anddirection of movement (Example: 50 meters/second to the south).======================================Another contributor added:The car's speedometer reads the same number whether you're driving north, east,south, or west. But all of those are different 'velocities', since the direction of motionis an essential component of velocity.The speedometer doesn't display any information regarding the direction you're going.It displays only the 'magnitude' of the velocity, which is the speed.
Which is a unit for velocity?
The SI units for velocity, as well as speed, are meters/second. But actually, you can divide any distance by any speed - for example, kilometers / hour is commonly used in practice (for example, that's what a car's speedometer reads), instead of meters/second.
Which type of speed is on a speedometer?
It reads instantaneous speed, and tells you nothing about average speed.
What type of speed does an automobile speedometer measure?
It reads instantaneous speed, and tells you nothing about average speed.
What speed are you actually traveling at when your speedometer reads 55mph?
Unless you have a broken speedometer, you are traveling at 55 mph.
Will changing gear ratio change speedometer?
Yes. The speedometer reads off the transmission tail shaft, and the speedometer is geared (in a mechanical system) or programmed (in an electronic system) accordingly.
2004 Honda Civic with Speedometer Problems?
I have a 2004 Honda Civic. The Speedometer rests at 35 MPH and when traveling at 55 MPH, it reads 85MPH.
How do you fix the speedometer on a Fiat Punto L Reg that reads 5mph when not moving?
The speedometer on the Fiat punto Mk1 was made with a speedo that reads 5 mph min. There is a needle stopping the speedo from going below this, so you dont need to "fix" anything as this is standard.
What type of velocity does the speedometer on a car measure?
The speedometer on a car measures the vehicle's instantaneous speed or linear velocity, which is the rate of change of its position over time. This velocity indicates how fast the car is moving at any given moment.
What is the car's speed in miles per hour when the speedometer reads 120 kilometers per hour?
75mph
What does speed sensor do in 93 jeep Cherokee?
It reads of the 2 transmission output shaft or the 4wd transfer case output shaft. Basically it reads how fast the output shaft is moving and sends that reading to the computer and the computer sends it to the speedometer. Without it the speedometer doesn't work.
Does the speedometer of a car read average speed or instaneous speed?
In a car, the speedometer measured Instantaneous speed. This comes from the assumption that the car does not slow down and speed up fast enough for the speedometer to be able to give an average of the changing speed.
Your 1999 sable odometer does not work?
Check VSS(vehicle speed sensor)on tranny,the most common problem of speedometer errs,providing your vehicle is equipped with a speedometer cable.Also,VSS,will cause erratic speedometer reads. - Big Daddy
What is a cars speed in kilometres per hour when the speedometer reads 120 miles per hour?
193.1 kph
