Question

Can average speed be zero?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. As we all know, speed depends on the distance traveled in a time interval.
2. It does not depend on the direction, it is a scalar quantity.
3. So, when a body is moving then it will definitely travel a particular distance, in a certain time.
4. Then speed or average speed will have some magnitude or non-zero value.

Hence, the average speed cannot be zero.
