Question

Heya Mates...

Give me the differences between average speed and average velocity of a particle .

Answer 1

Answer

⚫Average speed.

◾The ratio of the total distance traveled to the total time gives the average speed.

◾Average speed is a scalar physical quantity.

◾Average speed of a particle is finite ;cannot be zero and always positive.

◾Average speed is greater than the magnitude of average velocity.

⚫Average velocity

◾The ratio of net displacement of the particle to the total time taken gives the Average Velocity.

◾Average velocity is a vector physical quantity.

◾Average velocity of a particle may be zero, negative and positive.

◾Average velocity (magnitude) is less than the speed of the particle.

Answer 2

$\huge\textbf{Answer}$


» Average Speed

1) Rate of change of distance of a position with respect to time.

2) It is a Scaler Quantity.

3) It is always positive or zero.

4) It is greater or equal to average velocity.


» Average Velocity

1) Rate of change of displacement of a position with respect to e.

2) It is a vector quantity.

3) It is positive, negative or zero.

4) It is smaller than average speed.
