उत्तर
The ratio of the total distance travelled in a specified direction to the total time taken by the body to travel the distance is called average velocity.
Example: If you walk to a campsite 1 km away and then back to your starting point within 1 hour, then your average velocity will be zero because your initial and final position is the same.
