What mean by average velocity. |
|
Answer» velocity means the total displacement divided by the total time taken. this is different from the average speed as velocity is a vector. when we TAKE average we need to take into account the directions of velocity at different times. if an object travels for time t1 with a UNIFORM velocity and for time T2 with a uniform velocity of then the average velocity is if a person travels for 1 hour covering a distance of 10 km in a straightline towards the North and then returns along the same STRAIGHT line after 1 hour, then v1 vector is 10kmph towards North. v2 vector is 10 km ph towards SOUTH. average velocity is 0. Average velocity is the net displacement divided by the time interval. |
