average velocity​

Answer 1

$\huge{\bold{\star{\fcolorbox{pink}{lightpink}{Answer:}}}}$

The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. ... On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio.

Answer 2

Difference between Average Speed and Average

Velocity: Definition:

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the time. Speed takes into account the total path length traveled.

Average velocity is the displacement divided by the time. Velocity only takes into account the starting and ending points of an object's path.

Direction:

Average speed has no specific direction. It is a scalar quantity.

Average velocity has a specified direction. It is a vector quantity.
