It is calculated as the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken. It is, of course, possible to go very fast for some of the time and then go slowly and cover the same distance. That is where the concept of average speed comes from.

When are speed and average speed the same?
Average speed is an average value of speed over a given time. If your speed is constant (not changing), then your average speed will equal your speed at any given moment in time.
What is the difference between instantaneous speed and average speed?
Instantaneous speed is the speed at a particular moment in time.The average speed of an object tells you the (average) rate at which it covers distance
Formula for average speed?
average speed = distance / time
Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?
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.
Why do you use average speed?
The concept of average speed is somewhat simpler than "instantaneous speed".
When are speed and average speed the same?
Average speed is an average value of speed over a given time. If your speed is constant (not changing), then your average speed will equal your speed at any given moment in time.
Is average speed the same as speed?
Average Speed is different from average speed becoz speed is particular while avera speed is the total distance divided from time
How do you find the average speed of an object?
Average distance ______________ = Average Speed Average time
Average speed is indicated on the speedometer?
I would call it current speed, not average speed.
Formula for average speed?
average speed = distance / time
What is the difference between instantaneous speed and average speed?
Instantaneous speed is the speed at a particular moment in time.The average speed of an object tells you the (average) rate at which it covers distance
When average velocity and average speed is equal?
For the instantaneous value of average velocity, average speed and average velocity are equal.
Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?
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.
What is the average sailboat speed?
Hi There is not an average speed. It depends on the length and wind direction and speed
Why do you use average speed?
The concept of average speed is somewhat simpler than "instantaneous speed".
To justify with calculation average speed is equal to instantaneous speed?
Only if speed is constant. There can be no acceleration if the average speed is equal to the instantaneous speed.
Average speed of a hot air balloon?
It is the average speed of the wind.
