Solution

Dear Student,
Velocity is the rate at which the position of a particle changes with time.
If the velocity of a body moving in a particular direction changes with time, then the ratio of the displacement to the time taken during the journey is called the average velocity.
Average velocity = Displacement / Total time taken

Yes, average velocity is a vector quantity because it has a particular direction.
