What else can I help you with?
Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?
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.
Can average velocity and average speed be same?
Yes, average velocity and average speed can be the same if an object moves in a straight line without changing direction. Average velocity takes into account both the speed of the object and its direction of motion, while average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.
Are average speed and average velocity always the same measurements why?
I think it is cuz speed is velocity it's just a vector (more difficult name)
Which describes the average velocity of an ant traveling at a constant speed in a straight line on the kitchen counter?
The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph The total displacement divided by the time.
Is there a circumstance average speed equal to average velocity?
As long as there is no change in direction then they are effectively the same.
Is Distance the magnitude of average velocity?
No, distance and average velocity are not the same. Distance is the total amount covered by an object irrespective of direction, while average velocity is the displacement of an object divided by the time taken, taking direction into account.
Can the average velocity of a car and average speed be the same?
Yes, if the car moves in only one direction.
When is the average velocity is equal to the instantaneous velocity?
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.
Is average speed the same thing as inertia?
No. Inertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its velocity.
Why do all gases with the same average kinetic energy move at the same velocity?
Gases with the same average kinetic energy move at the same velocity because kinetic energy is directly related to the speed of gas particles. When gases have the same average kinetic energy, it means they have the same amount of energy to move, resulting in them moving at the same speed.
Can the average velocity of a particle be zero but not its average speed?
Yes, since velocity is speed and direction its average can be zero. For example say a plane flies from point A to point B at 300 mph and turns around to go from B to A at 300 mph; its average velocity is 0 since it is in the same spot as it started ( the velocity vectors cancel) but its average speed is 300 mph.
Can the average speed ever equal the instantaneous speed?
When there is no acceleration or when there is constant acceleration. When either of these cases is present, the graph of velocity versus time will be linear. When there is linear velocity, the average velocity will equal the instantaneous velocity at any point on the graph.
