Question

Define average speed and average velocity. when does the average velocity and
average speed will be equal?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Average speed is defined as the total distance travelled by the time taken whereas average velocity is defined as the displacement by the time taken. Since speed is a scalar quantity, the average speed is also considered as a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity.

Answer 2

Answer:

The average velocity is the ratio of total displacement and time.The.average speed is the ratio of total distance and time.

Therefore the average speed and average velocity are equal if the total displacement is equal to the total distance that is if the body travels along a straight line without changing the direction.
