Question

are average speed and average velocity are same? if not explain why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

yes they may be same if the particle travels along straight line but if the the particle take turn or come back then they must not be same because distance ≠ displacement at that case.

Answer 2

Answer:

Average velocity and average speed are not always the same as average velocity is related to the displacement of a body whereas average speed is related to the distance travelled by a body.

Average velocity is determined by dividing the total displacement of a body with time. On the other hand, the average speed can be determined by dividing the total distance travelled by a body with time.
