Average velocity is simply the difference in position, divided by the time. Since you use the word "velocity" rather than "speed", a direction must be indicated. Exapmle: If you drive 100 km. due North, during 2 hours, your average velocity is 50km. per hour due North.

How do you find the average velocity pressure?

To find the average velocity pressure, you would need to calculate the total velocity pressure and divide it by the number of measurements taken. This would give you the average velocity pressure over the measurement period.


Would instantaneous velocity yield the same value as average velocity?

Instantaneous velocity and average velocity are not the same. Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at a specific moment in time, while average velocity is the total displacement over a given time interval. In general, they will not have the same value unless the motion is at a constant velocity.


What is the average velocity of a 6.0 second interval?

The average velocity would be the total displacement over the total time interval. To calculate this, divide the total displacement by the total time to get the average velocity.


Does the slope of a position time graph represent average velocity or rate of change of velocity?

The tangent at a point on the position-time graph represents the instantaneous velocity. 1. The tangent is the instantaneous slope. 2. Rather than "average" velocity, the slope gives you "instantaneous" velocity. The average of the instantaneous gives you average velocity.


Who study the variation in velocity?

The study of variation in velocity is typically done by physicists and engineers, particularly those specializing in mechanics or fluid dynamics. They use mathematical models and experimentation to analyze changes in velocity over time or space.

Average velocity always equals one-half the sum of the initial and final velocities?

Is this a question? or a statement that you are unsure of? Well anyways, this would be correct if acceleration was a constant but if acceleration is not a constant, the (not-constant) acceleration would change the rate of velocity and thus that statement/question would be false.


What is its average velocity during this 15-s interval?

To find the average velocity during a 15-second interval, you would calculate the total displacement during that time and divide it by the total time. The formula for average velocity is displacement divided by time.


Would a radio controlled car produce an average velocity of zero?

No, a radio controlled car would not have an average velocity of zero if it moves in a straight line. Average velocity is the total displacement divided by the total time, so as long as the car moves, it will have a non-zero average velocity.


What is the magnitude of average velocity?

The magnitude of average velocity is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken, regardless of the direction. It gives the overall speed at which an object has moved over a certain period.

How long will it take for Apollo 11 to travel to the sun if it moves at the same average velocity from earth to the sun?

It would depend on what that velocity was.
