Question 5

measure the speed of a car by being linked mechanically
with the gearbox output shaft . Since this shaft lies ‘downstream’ of the gear box, the
speed with which it rotates is independent of gear changes and so gives a true measure
of the road speed.

Answer 5

Mechanical speedometers

Question 6

are the most often used length measurement tool that we find in offices, schools,
and home. It can measure objects up to 30 centimeters with sufficient precision 1
millimeter. In schools, children draw squares, rectangles, triangles, etc. by using this
stuff. There are two kinds of rulers based on the material that made it: plastic rulers and
metal rulers

Tape Measure

Question 9

types of tape measure

Answer 9

sewing tape measure, retractable tape

measure, and surveying tape measure

Question 10

is a linear measurement tool that is by means of not touching the object
physically; not like a tape measure that we need to stick out the blade onto the surface
of something we are going to measure. Having that said, our work is highly simplified,
becomes easier and faster

Answer 10

Laser Measure

Question 11

A made-of-steel block that can be used for calibrating a linear (length, width, and
depth/height) measuring instrument. If you are going to calibrate rulers, tape measures,
calipers, and micrometers,

Answer 11

Question 12

In case you are going to observe a small object’s diameter with high accuracy and
precision, you need this tool. can measure with precision until 0.01 millimeters.
You can perform outside and inside and even depth measurement with this measuring
instrument.

Answer 12

Caliper

Question 13

is intended for more accuracy and precision
measurement. If you are not satisfied yet with the accuracy of the caliper, then turn to
this one. You need to remember that it can only support one type of measurement.
There cannot be done three types of measurements in one tool with this like the caliper.

Answer 13

. Micrometer

Question 14

You are a surveyor that wants to measure the distance of two separated points on open
land, we utilize its wheel diameter
for the measurement.

Answer 14

Wheel Measure

Question 15

The same concept is also implemented tofunctions to measure distance using a wheel. is always found in vehicles. It’s designed to measure how far the vehicle has passed through.

Answer 15

Odometer

Question 16

is the friend of hunters, navigator, and also for a military purpose. If you
are going to measure a long distance from your position to a specific point you are
targeting, then you need this one. One incredible benefit of it is the ability
ranging from a far-away target without contacting it.

Answer 16

Rangefinder

Question 17

It’s designed to measure the gap thickness accurately. All you have to do is
inserting one of the blades to the gap you are going to measure. Try one by one until
you think it’s the right thickness. In the case of measuring gaps, you must use the best
feeler gauge. If the blade thickness is inaccurate or the material is easy to rust, the
measurement can be misleading.

Answer 17

Feeler Gauge

Question 18

is
commonly applied to car paint. By means of this tool, the condition of the car can be
evaluated.

Answer 18

Paint Thickness Gauge

Question 19

is actually a depth gauge. But it has some modifications to match the need for
measuring the depth of tire tread. Therefore, the maximum range of tire tread depth
gauge is no more than 1 inch. It’s a simple, small, yet important tool to have in your
vehicle storage.

Answer 19

Tire Tread Depth Gauge

Question 20

measure the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). This
instrument determines the rotational speed (how fast it’s spinning) of a shaft or disk in
the engine and displays the reading on a calibrated analog dial display on the
dashboard of a car, aircraft or other vehicle.

Answer 20

Tachometers

Question 21

measure the traveling speed of land vehicles. They are used to help
drivers determine their driving speed and maintain it at save and realistic levels. These
meters use magnets and a set of rotating cables connected to the transmission to
determine the rate of travel, which is shown on an analog display on the vehicle’s
dashboard.

Answer 21

Speedometers

Question 22

measure the rates of acceleration and deceleration of a vehicle to
determine whether the drive train and braking systems are functioning correctly. This
instrument has been used to show a vehicle’s engine power by demonstrating how fast
that car or truck can get from 0 to 60 mph. T

Answer 22

Accelerometers

Question 23

uses the Doppler effect, which bounces
sound waves off moving vehicles, then calculates the sound wave frequency as the
return to the instrument. Soundwave frequency increases the closer the vehicle is to the
instrument, and decreases as the distance between the vehicle and radar gun get
wider.

Answer 23

RADAR

Question 24

aims an infrared light beam toward a vehicle and measures how long it takes for the
light waves to reflect back. The light pulses have the advantage of traveling at the
speed of light instead of the speed of sound, which provide a reading a bit more quickly
than RADAR.

Answer 24

LIDAR

Question 25

An on-board computer calculates
the speed using an average speed program. If the vehicle appears to be speeding, the
pilot radios ahead to a police patrol unit, who then can stop the driver and give him or
her the gift of a speeding ticket

Answer 25

Average Speed Computers

Question 26

are wind speed instruments used by meteorologists. These devices have
3 or 4 cups attached to a central spoke. As the cups catch the movement of air, they
spin on the spoke, and the revolutions per minute are converted to an air speed or wind
speed.

Answer 26

Anemometer
