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.
Speed - but NOT velocity.
Your speedometer is broken.
A cars speedometer measures speed. A speedometer is a gauge that displays the speed of a vehicle so the driver will know how fast the vehicle is moving.
Older cars have a cable, which is turned by a gear at the rear of the transmission, and this operates a mechanical speedometer. Modern cars have an electronic sensor in the gearbox which is linked by wire to an electronic speedometer.
When you look at the speedometer in a moving car, you can see the car's current speed, typically measured in miles per hour (MPH) or kilometers per hour (KPH). The speedometer provides real-time feedback on how fast the vehicle is traveling, helping the driver maintain safe speeds and comply with traffic regulations. Some speedometers also include additional features, such as average speed or trip distance.
It shows the speed and the distance the car travels.
When you look at the speedometer in a moving car, it displays the current speed at which the vehicle is traveling, typically measured in miles per hour (MPH) or kilometers per hour (KPH). This gauge helps the driver maintain a safe and legal speed, ensuring compliance with traffic regulations. Additionally, monitoring the speedometer can help prevent speeding tickets and contribute to overall road safety.
Look at the speedometer.
In a train of 100 cars, whether or not the last car starts moving when the engine starts moving depends on whether or not there is slack between the cars.
Racing cars such as those in Formula 1 racing do not have speedometers
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.
The speed of most cars today is limited by the computer, no matter what the speedometer says. My car's speedometer lists 140, but it actuality 120 is the top speed as the limiter kicks in and controls the speed by way of a fuel shut off.
