Question

under which condition is the magnitude of average velocity of an object equal to its average speed

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total distance covered divided by time taken is equal to average speed of the object.

The total displacement covered divided by time taken is equal to average velocity of the object.

Displacement is the shortest path covered while the overall path covered is distance.

When an object moves in a straight line in one direction, then the magnitude of average velocity of an object equal to its average speed.

Answer 2

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.
