Question

Under what condition the magnitude of average velocity of a
particle is equal to the average speed ?​

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

Required Answer:-

First of all, Average velocity and Average speed are different physical quantities. The Earlier one is a vector quantity and latter is a scalar quantity.

Average velocity is determined by both magnitude and direction but average speed is only based on its magnitude. Their magnitude are same when$.$

• When the body is having equal distance and displacement covered.

• This is achieved when the body is moving a fixed direction.

• That is, the body is moving in the same straight line. Distance travelled is equal to displacement.
