Answer:

Key Difference: Velocity refers to the rate of change of distance with respect to time. It is a vector quantity, which means that it has both - a direction and a magnitude. Average velocity refers to the average total displacement over the time of travel. ... It can also be referred to as a speed with a direction.

Velocity: The rate at which a distance changes over time.

Average velocity: Average total displacement over the time of travel.

Formula:

  • Velocity= \frac{displacement}{time}
  • Average velocity= \frac{Total displacement}{time interval}

Purpose:

  • The velocity of a moving item is used to determine its speed and direction.
  • Average velocity is used when displacements are corresponding to the various time taken.

Example:

  • If the vehicle comes back to its starting position, then there will be no displacement. Therefore, the velocity will be zero.
  • If a substance moves along the x-axis, it is at 5 meters in 3 seconds and 7 meters at 5 seconds. Then the average velocity will be \frac{7-5}{5-3}= 1m/s.
