Sure. If some of the items on the list are positive and some are

negative, then their average can be positive, negative, or zero.

But if all of them are positive, then their average must be more

than zero. Remember that the average is always greater than the

least item on the list, and less than the greatest one.

Can the average speed of a body be zero and can the average velocity of a moving body be zero?

Since speed is a scalar quantity, the only way the average speed can be zero is if the instantaneous speed is at all times zero, making it not a moving body, so no on the average speed. The average velocity, on the other hand, can easily be zero. The simplest example is you running in a circle.


Is it possible to have a situation in which the speed of a particle is always zero but the average speed is not zero?

No. If the speed is always zero, then the average of its speed at any two points in time is also zero.

Is zero included when finding the average?

You will include zero in finding an average if it is present in the problem. For example, you want to average quiz scores of 75, 100, 90, 0, 80. You would include zero. If zero isn't listed, don't use it.

Why is the average velocity of the molecules in a gas is zero but the average of the square velocity not zero?

The gas molecules are in motion but if the total gas volume is stationary (Eg. closed in a container) the average gas velocity is zero. And since the square of any number is never negative. And not all molecules have zero velocity at a time. Therefore, since not all numbers are zero and no number is negative the the average of numbers should be a positive number and will not be zero.


How does the AVERAGE function in Excel deal with empty cells and cells containing a zero value?

Empty cells are ignored completely when calculating an average in Excel. If a cell contains a zero, then it is included in the calculation of the average because zero is a number and it is relevant to include it. If you want to exclude zero values in the calculation, then you could use the AVERAGEIF and set it to only include values that are above zero.
