The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about the instrument installed in a car for measuring the distance traveled, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Purpose of the Instrument**: We need to determine which instrument is specifically designed to measure distance traveled by a vehicle. 2. **Consider the Options Provided**: - **Air Barometer**: This instrument measures air pressure, not distance. - **Speedometer**: This instrument measures the speed of the vehicle at a particular moment, not the total distance traveled. - **Anemometer**: This instrument measures wind speed and direction, which is unrelated to vehicle distance. - **Odometer**: This instrument is specifically designed to measure the total distance traveled by a vehicle. 3. **Select the Correct Instrument**: Based on the functions of the instruments listed, the odometer is the correct choice as it measures the distance traveled by the car. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the instrument installed in a car for measuring the distance traveled by the car is called an **odometer**. ### Final Answer: The instrument installed in a car for measuring the distance traveled by the car is called an **odometer**. ---
