I think it is cuz speed is velocity it's just a vector (more difficult name)
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.
No. Velocity combines speed and the direction of motion.Constant velocity is constant speed in a straight line.In circular motion, the velocity is always changing even if the speed is constant,because the direction is always changing.
Their average speed is the harmonic mean of 30 and 45 while their average velocity is zero.
total velocity * * * * * It is the average speed, not velocity which is a vector.
If you know average speed then you cannot determine the acceleration: the very nature of being a average hides all the increases and decreases in speed which are the accelerations (technically, acceleration is change of speed in a direction). All average speed tells you is the constant speed at which you require to travel to cover the given distance in the given time; as the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero.
That is the case when you are talking about instantaneous speed and velocity - or when the velocity is constant. In the case of an average speed and velocity, this relation does not hold.
For the instantaneous value of average velocity, average speed and average velocity are equal.
Velocity is speed and its direction. Average velocity is average speed and its direction.
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.
Velocity = speed, and the direction in which it's happening Acceleration = rate at which speed is changing, and the direction in which it's changing
Speed is the magnitude of distance travelled per unit time, whereas velocity depends on the magnitude of distance travelled as well as the direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quantity, velocity is a vector. Speed cannot be negative, velocity can be negative. Average speed of an object after travelling a certain distance is always non-zero, but for velocity the average velocity can be zero (this follows from the previous idea).
Velocity will always change in speed.
No. Average velocity is still a velocity.Distance is a product of (a velocity or speed) times (a length of time).
The term "velocity", as used in physics, DOES have an associated direction. Most derived terms, such as "average velocity", also do.
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,
their average speed is greater than their average velocity.
For example, an object goes in a circle, at a speed of 50 km/hour. The average speed is 50 km/hour; the average velocity is zero.
