Speedometer measures the speed of the car in

The speedometer of an automobile measures

(A):The speedometer of an automobile measure the instantaneous speed of the automobile. (R ):Average velocity is equal to total distance divided by total time taken.

Assertion : The speedometer of an automobile measure the average speed of the automobile. Reason : Average velocity is equal to total displacement per total time taken.

A car is running on a straight road . The distance travelled and time taken are connected by the formula = t^(2) -2t where t is measured in hours and s in km. When the odometer reading is 15, what is the speedometer reading ? [ Odometer measures s and the speedmeter measures velocity]

The diagram shows a train moving with constant velocity and a car moving towards the train with constant velocity. The engine driver measures the velocity of the car as v_(1) . The passenger sitting in the last compartment measures the velocity of the car as v_(2) . Which of the following statements is true?

A car is moving on a straight road. The velocity of the car varies with time as shown in the figure. Initially (at t=0), the car was at x=0 , where, x is the position of the car at any time 't'. The maximum displacement from the starting position will be :-

A car is moving on a straight road. The velocity of the car varies with time as shown in the figure. Initially (at t=0), the car was at x=0 , where, x is the position of the car at any time 't'. The time interval during which the car is retarding can be :-
