Question

average speed can mean the magnitude of the average velocity vector another meaning given to it is that average speed is total length of path travelled divided by last time are this meaning different if so give an example

Answer 1

NO, BOTH ANSWERS ARE EQUAL                                                                

Answer 2

Answer:

Average velocity can be zero while average speed can have non-zero value.

Average velocity is the ratio of displacement over time and average speed is the ratio of total length of path traveled by total time,

If the displacement = Distance, then the two meanings can mean the same otherwise not.

When the initial position and final position are same, the average velocity = 0 because displacement = final position - initial position = 0 but total length of path traveled = d in time t

Thus, average speed = d/t

and average velocity = 0
