Where does we use average speed and average accelaration

Open in App

Solution

We use average speed when we want to calculate rate at which distace travelled changes
in an interval
ie,change in distance/change in time

Average acceleration used when we want to calculate the rate at which velocity changes

Q. If we take the average of our readings how does error get reduced ?

Q. Why while calculating average velocity we have to substract displacement whereas while calculating average speed we have to add the distance

In Exercises 3.13 and 3.14, we have carefully distinguished between average speed and magnitude of average velocity. No such distinction is necessary when we consider instantaneous speed and magnitude of velocity. The instantaneous speed is always equal to the magnitude of instantaneous velocity. Why?
