Question

Under what condition, the average speed is equal to the magnitude of the average velocity. Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Average velocity would be equal to average speed when the total distance travelled equals the net displacement of a particle. This happens when a particle moves along a straight line in a fixed direction.

Answer 2

Answer:

when the body moves in a straight line the average velocity is equal to average speed. Average velocity would be equal to average speed when the total distance travelled equals the net displacement of a particle. This happens when a particle moves along a straight line in a fixed direction.
