Question

Under what condition the average velocity is equal to instantaneous velocity?

Answer 1

1. Average velocity is defined as the ratio of total distance traveled in a given direction to total time taken by the body to travel that distance.
2. The velocity of a body at a certain point in time is known as instantaneous velocity.
3. When acceleration is zero, average velocity equals instantaneous velocity.
4. There must be no change in speed or direction for an object's acceleration to equal zero.

Hence, when a body moves uniformly in one dimension, its average velocity equals its instantaneous velocity.
