Velocity is an instantaneous measure. Mathematically, it is the limiting value of the change in the position vector divided by the change in time as the latter tends to zero. Over larger time periods, the average velocity is the total change in the position vector divided by the total change in time. If velocity is constant, the average velocity will be the same as the instantaneous velocity.
i don`t know
average velocity is the displacement over time while instantaneous velocity refers to the velocity of an object at one point or at as pecific point of time. *displacement is the difference between the initial position and the final position of an object. (distance 2 - distance 1)
-- Pick two points on the graph. -- Find the difference in time between the two points. -- Find the difference in displacement between the same two points. -- (Difference in displacement) divided by (difference in time) is the average Speed . You can't tell anything about velocity from the graph except its magnitude, because the graph displays no information regarding the direction of motion.
Velocity includes direction. And it's the 'difference', not the 'distance'.
The average velocity over an time interval is the average of the instantaneous velocities for all instants over that period. Conversely, as the time interval is reduced, the average velocity comes closer and closer to the instantaneous velocity.
velocity is a distance travelled per sec
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.
Average velocity in a direction is calculated as the displacement in that direction divided by the total time taken. As the time interval is reduced, the displacement over that period also reduces and the limiting value of that ratio is the instantaneous velocity.
To find the change in velocity in a given scenario, subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity. The change in velocity is the difference between the two velocities.
Speed is what it is: speed. Velocity is speed in a given direction, a vector quantity.
Speed is just a number; velocity includes information about the direction. In physical terms, speed is a scalar, whereas velocity is a vector.
For the instantaneous value of average velocity, average speed and average velocity are equal.
