Average Speed And Average Velocity » Maths And Physics With Pandey Sir

Average Speed

Average speed of an object is defined as the total distance travelled by the object divided by the total time take.

Average Velocity

Average velocity of an object is define as the change in position or displacement(∆x) divided by the time interval(∆t) in which the displacement occur.

Let a body is moving along the path PR. At time t₁, let the body is at P and its position with respect to origin O is given by vector x₁ and at time t₂, the body is at position x₂.
