Odometer in a vehicle measures:

Answer: Distance travelled.

  • A Velocity
  • B Displacement
  • C Distance travelled
  • D Acceleration

Correct answer: C. Distance travelled

Explanation: Odometer records the total distance travelled by the vehicle along its path.

tvuvTΔtΔvslope = aarea = displacement (s)

On a velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration, the slope of the line gives the acceleration and the shaded area under the line gives the displacement.

Concept context

Equations of motion, projectile motion, relative velocity. Foundation of all mechanics.
