CONCEPT:

Odometer Function in a Car

  • The odometer is an instrument used in vehicles to measure the distance travelled.
  • It records the total distance a vehicle has driven since it was manufactured or since it was last reset.
  • It does not measure speed, acceleration, or instantaneous speed.

EXPLANATION:

  • An odometer is typically found on the dashboard of a car and displays how many miles or kilometers the vehicle has traveled.
  • It is important for tracking the vehicle's usage and scheduling maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotations, and other service intervals.
  • Other instruments, like the speedometer, measure instantaneous speed, while devices like accelerometers measure acceleration.

Explanation:-

  • So the correct answer is distance travelled by the car
