Question

The meter that is used to measure the speed of a vehicle is:
A. Speedometer
B. Odometer
C. Anemometer
D. Thermometer

Answer 1

The meter is present in motorbikes and cars. Also in new ere bikes, this meter is digital and can be seen when the bike is on and moving.

Complete step by step answer:
Odometer is a measuring instrument which shares the space with the speedometer and is present in cars and bikes. The function of the odometer is to measure the total distance travelled by car/bike since its inception. It measures the total distance travelled by the vehicle. Previously there used to be mechanical odometers installed in vehicles but nowadays they are being replaced by digital metres.
Anemometer is a tool which is used to measure the wind speed in the atmosphere. It is one of the most commonly used weathering instruments in our life. It is also used to measure the atmospheric pressure on a given day. An anemometer can measure the total velocity magnitude, the velocity magnitude on a horizontal plane, or the velocity component in a particular direction.
A thermometer is a device which is used to measure the temperature and is widely used in our households.
The speedometer is the device used in a vehicle to measure the speed of that vehicle. Speedometer measures the instantaneous speed of the vehicle.

So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note: People do usually get confused between speedometer and odometer as both are present in a car or a bike. Nowadays all vehicles are fitted with digital meters. Also in popular racing video games like Asphalt-9 or GT racing, one can spot these meters there.
