Question

what is average speed

Answer 1

Hey friend,

Here's your answer,



Average speed of a moving body is defined as the ratio of the total distance travelled by it to the total time taken by it.


Thus,


Avg. speed = Total distance travelled / Total time taken



Example -


Let a bus travels 180 km in 6 hours between two stations, then the average speed of the bus =


Average speed = Total distance travelled / Total Time taken


= 180 / 6 = 30 km/h


Therefore, the average speed of the bus will be 30 km/h

Hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer. The average speed of an object is the total distance traveled by the object divided by the elapsed time to cover that distance. It's a scalar quantity which means it is defined only by magnitude. A related concept, average velocity, is a vector quantity.Jun 5, 2018
