प्रश्न
Under what condition(s) is the magnitude of average velocity of an object equal to its average speed?
Advertisements
उत्तर
When the amount of displacement equals the total distance travelled, the average velocity is equal to the average speed. This occurs when an object travels in a single direction in a straight line (without turning back).
