Concept explainers
The relation between average speed and average velocity for an object in uniform motion.
Answer to Problem 41SSC
The magnitude of average velocity depicts the average speed.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The rate of change of distance of an object is the average speed while the rate of change of displacement is called the average velocity of an object.
The change in position of an object with respect to the time depicts the average speed. When this average speed combines with the direction of motion, it depicts the average velocity.
Conclusion:
Hence, the average speed is just the magnitude of the average velocity.
