Question
Give an example of motion in which the average speed is not zero but the average velocity is zero.
Advertisements
Solution
If a body starts its motion from a point and comes back to the same point after a certain time, then the displacement is zero, average velocity is also zero, but the total distance travelled is not zero, and therefore, the average speed in not zero.
