The distance a javelin is thrown is measured from the point where the javelin first strikes the ground to the nearest mark made by the point of the javelin that remains in the ground. The measurement is then taken in a straight line from the first mark to the throwing line.
The main instrument used to measure distance in science is a ruler. In more advanced applications, tools like laser rangefinders or GPS devices may be used for more precise measurements.
An odometer is commonly used to measure the distance traveled by a vehicle. It calculates the distance based on the rotations of the vehicle's wheels. GPS devices can also be used to determine distance traveled by tracking the device's movement.
A javelin is typically measured from the tip to the back end of the grip, also known as the cord. This measurement is taken in centimeters.
An instrument used to measure the speed of rotation is a tachometer. An instrument used to measure correct shape or dimensions is a caliper or a micrometer.
