Question

How would you determine the average speed in motion?

Answer 1

1. When an object is in non-uniform motion, its speed keeps on changing.
2. In such cases, we calculate the average speed of the object.
3. Average speed is the ratio of the total distance traveled by the object to the total time taken during the journey.
4. $Avergaespeed\left(v_{av}\right)=\frac{Totaldis\tan cetravelled}{Totaltimetaken}$ .
5. The SI unit of average speed is the same as speed, i.e., m s^-1.

Hence, with the above formula, we can calculate the average speed in motion.
