Average Speed Definition Math. Average velocity is the displacement a vector divided by the time it takes for that displacement. Ill get the calculator out for that.
The average velocity of an object is its total displacement divided by the total time taken. The speed of these cars is over 150 kilometers per hour 150 kmh. If an object covers different distances with different velocities then average velocity of the object is a single velocity value for which if the object moves uniformly it will.
The average speed calculation is simple.
However if the vehicle travels for a certain amount of time at a speed x and then the same amount of time at a speed y then its average speed is the arithmetic mean of x and y which in the above example is 40 kmh. Moreover the average speed is certainly a scalar quantity because it is defined by a magnitude only. You can multiply time by speed to find any distance. What is the average of 2 7 and 9.
