average velocity x time
No. Average velocity is still a velocity.Distance is a product of (a velocity or speed) times (a length of time).
Speed is the magnitude of distance travelled per unit time, whereas velocity depends on the magnitude of distance travelled as well as the direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quantity, velocity is a vector. Speed cannot be negative, velocity can be negative. Average speed of an object after travelling a certain distance is always non-zero, but for velocity the average velocity can be zero (this follows from the previous idea).
Velocity (speed) = distance/time
Average velocity equals the average speed if (and only if) the motion is in the same direction. If not, the average speed, being the average of the absolute value of the velocity, will be larger.
No. Average speed is.

what is magnitude of average velocity
velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.
Shortest distance is called displacement . displacement =average velocity / average time . It is a vector quantity both has magnitude and direction.But,distance is a scalar quantity having only magnitude.

1. magnitude of distance covered is equal to the magnitude of displacement. 2. the motion of the object is in a straight line i.e. in a particular direction.
velocity is a vector quantity. Its magnitude is given by (velocity)= (distance)/(time)
Speed is equal to the magnitude of velocity almost always. Speed is total distance / total time no matter which way the distance goes. Velocity is the distance from a starting point divided by total time.
