Guys i have a lot of confusion in average velocity. My teacher would kill me if i dont answer today. Explain me about the average velocity with 1 example please guys
Answers
Answer:
Average velocity indicates direction and can be represented as a negative number when the displacement is in the negative direction.
For example, someone who takes 40 minutes to drive 20 miles north and then 20 miles south (to end up at the same place), has an average speed of 40 miles divided by 40 minutes, or 1 mile per minute (60 mph). Average velocity, however, involves total displacement, instead of distance.
Explanation:
In short Average velocity is defined to be the change in position divided by the time of travel.
Explanation:
If the velocity of a body moving in a particular direction changes with time, the ratio of the displacement to the time taken in the entire journey is called the average velocity.
Average velocity =displacement /time taken.
Eg- velocity of a fired bullet can be measured by calculating the distance (displacement) upon the total time taken.
