Answer:

The Speedometer measure's a car's speed only not the velocity.

Explanation:

Speed is a scalar quantity. It has only magnitude. Therefore speedometer of a car measure's speed of the car which is measured in kilometer per hour. Speedometer does not show any direction. While velocity is a vector quantity it has magnitude as well as direction. So the Speedometer can't measure the velocity.
