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?
The magnitude of both can be the same.
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)
When average velocity and average speed is equal?
For the instantaneous value of average velocity, average speed and average velocity are equal.
How is velocity different from average speeed?
Velocity is speed and its direction. Average velocity is average speed and its direction.
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. Average velocity is still a velocity.Distance is a product of (a velocity or speed) times (a length of time).
Can the average velocity of a car and average speed be the same?
Yes, if the car moves in only one direction.
Is overall velocity the same as average speed?
No, velocity is a vector quantity (i.e. magnitude & direction) while speed is a scalar quantity (i.e. magnitude only).
Is average speed the same thing as inertia?
No. Inertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its velocity.
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.
Does average velocity have a direction associated with it?
The term "velocity", as used in physics, DOES have an associated direction. Most derived terms, such as "average velocity", also do.
