Question

What is difference between velocity and average velocity

Answer 1

Velocity of a body is the velocity at a particular instant of time. It is also called as instantaneous velocity. Average velocity is the velocity over an interval of time, even if it varies in between.

Answer 2

The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Average velocity is defined as the change in position or displacement (∆x) divided by the time intervals (∆t) in which the displacement occurs.

• A body's velocity is its speed at a specific point in time.  
• The average velocity is the average velocity throughout a period of time, even if it varies.
• The rate at which a distance changes with regard to time is referred to as velocity.
• It's a vector quantity, meaning it has both a magnitude and a direction.
• The average overall displacement over the journey duration is referred to as average velocity.
• The average of the initial and end velocities is used to calculate it. The displacement is another term for the change in position.
