Question

Characterize speed average speed velocity average velocity in terms of motion of a body

Answer 1

Answer:

Average speed = Distance / time elapsed

. Average velocity = Displacement / time elapsed

Average speed is a scalar quantity, while average velocity is a vector quantity. 2. Average speed takes into account the total distance traveled, while average velocity is concerned with the displacement between two points. More often than not, the values will differ, with average speed usually having the higher value.
