Question

give the definition and formula of Average Speed.

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get average speed, s , divide total distance by elapsed time: Dt. To get elapsed time, t , divide total distance by speed: Ds. To get distance, D , multiply speed times the amount of time: s × t.
