under what condition is the magnitude of the average velocity of an object equal to its average speed??
Open in App
Solution
We know that average speed = Total distance/Total time
and, average velocity = Total displacement/Total time
Magnitude of average velocity and average speed of a moving object is equal only if the object moves in a straight line and in such case the magnitude of displacement is equal to the distance travelled by the body.
