The speed on a car speedometer. Is it speed or velocity? Explain Why

Physics

Sliva [168]3 years ago

Velocity is a speed AND a direction.
When you turn a corner, or go around a curve in the road, your
direction changes, but the reading on the dial doesn't change.
So it can't be showing velocity.  It must be showing only speed.
That's probably a big part of the reason why it's called a speedometer
and not a velocimeter.

According to Archimede's principle, a physical object experiences an upthrust due to a difference in pressure between upper and lower  surfaces.

<h3>What is an upthrust?</h3>

An upthrust is also referred to as buoyancy and it can be defined as an upward force which is exerted by a fluid (liquid or gas), so as to oppose the weight of a partially or fully immersed physical object that is floating in it.

Based on scientific information, a physical object experiences an upthrust when it is immersed in a fluid due to a difference in height and pressure between upper (top) and lower (bottom) surfaces.

According to Archimede's principle, there is a higher pressure at the bottom of the physical object due to height, and a lower pressure at the top of the physical object.
