Want this question answered?
Velocity is an objects speed in a given direction e.g. a runner having run round a circular track of 400m in circumference has 0 velocity.
No. Your speed is constant but your velocity is not. Velocity is a vector and as you run around a track, the direction of your motion changes and so the velocity changes - not in magnitude but in direction.
Yes, the lazy bum has done no work at all.
You say the track is 400m, then ask how far you have run after 18 laps. Your distance is 2 miles. Your average speed is 9min per mile. apex- 0
His velocity was zero - since he's back to where he started. (Try to substitute speed where appropriate.)

track runner. Usain Bolt should be the most striking example
The speed of an object does not, by definition, have a direction. Speed is defined as the total distance that an object travels divided by the time that it takes the object to travel that distance. A similar concept which does have a direction is velocity. Velocity is defined as the displacement of the object (how far it has moved from its original position and the direction in which it has moved) divided by the time during which it moved. The difference between these two concepts can also be explained in terms of a runner completing a lap around a quarter-mile track. If it takes the runner three minutes to complete the lap, the runner's speed is .25miles/3minutes. The runner's velocity, however, is zero. This is because the runner starts at the same place that they end (because the track is a loop) so that at the end of the 3minutes they are back where they started which makes their displacement zero.
Her average speed is greater than her average velocity.
I'm a distance runner and I average around 40 miles per week.
Wesley Paul is the fastest boy runner
The car's average speed is 75 miles per hour.
Yes.Maybe
she was a famous track runner

Liam. He was a runner and at one point had a track record.
