(15) Subjects were required to decelerate from a constant speed of 30 mph to a target speed of 20 mph under two conditions: using their speedometer and being deprived of its use.
Tachometer
Definition:
(n.) An instrument for measuring the velocity, or indicating changes in the velocity, of a moving body or substance.
(n.) An instrument for measuring the velocity of running water in a river or canal, consisting of a wheel with inclined vanes, which is turned by the current. The rotations of the wheel are recorded by clockwork.
(n.) An instrument for showing at any moment the speed of a revolving shaft, consisting of a delicate revolving conical pendulum which is driven by the shaft, and the action of which by change of speed moves a pointer which indicates the speed on a graduated dial.
(n.) An instrument for measuring the velocity of the blood; a haematachometer.
Example Sentences:
