It is not possible because the average velocity is equal to the displacement in a given time interval, ie:

V = (displacement) / (time interval)

As the zero displacement average speed will also be zero.

No. A non-zero average velocity means, precisely, that there is a displacement.

If the total displacement is zero can the average velocity be nonzero?

No, you cannot have a zero displacement and a nonzero average velocity. If the object has not moved any where how can you attain a nonzero velocity? You cannot.


If the displacement is zero then is the average velocity also zero?

Average velocity is zero if the displacement is zero. Average velocity = Displacement/Time = 0/Time = 0.


Can you have zero displacement and non zero average velocity?

no


Can you have zon zero displacement and a non zero average velocity?

No.


Can a body have nonzero average speed but have zero average velocity give example?

An object moving in a circular path at constant speed will have a non-zero average speed and zero average velocity since velocity is a vector parameter,


When the average velocity of an object equals zero what is the displacement of the object?

When the velocity is zero at the crossing of the time axis, the displacement must be a full maximum or minimum. Scroll down to related links and look at "Displacement - Velocity- Acceleration".


Can you have zero displacement and nonzero velocity?

i will give u an illustration, consider an object projected (thrown)with some initial vertical velocity from the ground such that it traces a open downward parabolicpath, in that path the vertical displacement of the body from the point of projection to the point where it strikes the ground is equal to zero,but it have some velocity.


How is it possible for a car to have an average velocity of zero and an average speed of 65 mph?

If the car has an average speed of 65 mph, when it returns to its starting point, it will have a displacement of zero and an average velocity of zero, because velocity has both speed and direction.


Can a body have zero average velocity but a nonzero average speed give example?

Yes, you can. Example: An object going around in a circle.


If the average velocity of an object is zero in some time interval what can you say about the displacement of the object for that interval?

the displacement is zero.Note that distance travelled would not be zero though. as velocity doesn't signify anything abt distance travelled.speed will give you what distance you travelled.Since average velocity is zero, some component is negetive some positive or no movement at all. whichever case may be, the displacement will be zero.


If displacement is not changing as a function of time then what can we say about velocity?

If the displacement is not changing, the velocity is zero.


What is the average velocity of a tennis racquet?

The average velocity is pretty close to zero. Velocity is a vector, so its average value is the total displacement divided by the total time. Since the racquet probably starts and finishes in the player's bag in the player's home, the average velocity is zero.
