AVERAGE VELOCITY

Before understanding average speed and average velocity, we must first

understand the distinction between distance and displacement. The
scalar quantity "distance" represents how much ground an object has
covered. The shortest distance between two points is represented by
displacement, which is a vector quantity. If a particle moves in a circle, for
Given,
The velocity is uniform, therefore the initial and final velocities are equal and is given as V.
∴From definition, acceleration is given as:

circumference of the circle, but the displacement is zero.
Initial velocity, vi = 5 m.s -1
Final velocity, vf = 25 m.s-1
Time interval, t = 20 s
Let's have a look at the definitions of speed and velocity.
∴ From definition, acceleration is given as:
a=vf−vit
a=25−520
∴ a=1 m.s-2
Therefore, the average speed of the car is 70 km/2 hours = 35km/hour.

To know about average speed and average velocity, first, we must

know of some terms and their meanings.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ABOUT LONGITUDINAL WAVE?
Distance Travelled – Distance travelled, as the name clearly tells, is
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ABOUT TRANVERSE WAVE?
the total distance travelled by the object.
WHAT IS WAVE PULSE AND PERIODIC WAVES?
Time Taken – The time taken by the object to move the given
distance.
THE ANATOMY OF WAVES
Displacement – Displacement is the shortest distance between the
initial point where the object was and the final point where the object
ended up.
Speed – Speed is the distance travelled by an object in unit time.
Speed is a scalar quantity. This means it has no specified direction.
Speed refers to how fast an object is moving, or essentially the rate at
which the distance is covered.
Velocity – Velocity is the total displacement of the object in a
specified direction in unit time. Velocity is a vector quantity. This
means it has a specified direction. Velocity refers to the time rate of The highest part of the wave is called the crest. The lowest part is called

Average speed is the total distance travelled by an object to the total time
taken. However, average velocity is the change in position or displacement
(∆x) divided by the time intervals (∆t) in which the displacement occurs.
Average Speed
The average speed of any object is the total distance travelled by that
object divided by the total time elapsed to cover the said distance.
The average speed of an object tells you the average rate at which it
will cover the distance; that is, an object has a speed of 30km/hour,

length. For shallow water waves, the same flattening in the motion occurs
but there is no decrease in the forward/backward motion.

WavelengthWavelength is a measure of the distance from the crest
on one wave to the crest on the very next wave.
Shorter wavelengths are influenced by the frequency.
A higher frequency causes a shorter wavelength and greater energy.
SpeedSpeed is a measure of the distance a wave travels in an
amount of time.
The speed of a wave is determined by the type of wave and the
nature of the medium.
As a wave enters a different medium, the wave’s speed changes.
Waves travel at different speeds in different media.
All frequencies of electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in
empty space.​

its position will change on an average by 30km each hour. Average speed is
a rate that is a quantity divided by the time taken to get that quantity. SI
unit of speed is meters per second.
Average speed is calculated by the formula S = d/t, where S equals the
average speed, d equals total distance and t equals total time.
Average Velocity
Average velocity of an object can be defined as the displacement with
regards to the original position divided by the time. In other words, it is the
rate at which an object makes displacements with time. Like average speed,
the SI unit is metres per second. Average velocity can also be said to be the
ratio of the total displacement of an object to the total time for this action
to take place.

An object is said to be accelerated if there is a change in its velocity. The
change in the velocity of an object could be an increase or decrease in
speed or a change in the direction of motion. A few examples of
acceleration are the falling of an apple, the moon orbiting around the earth,
 Through these examples, we can understand that when there is a The average acceleration over a period of time is defined as the total
