Answer:

Average velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the average velocity of an object is equal to the total displacement of an object divided by the total time spent.

Average velocity = Distance /time

The units used are distance units per time units (for example: meters per second).

Is the rate of the change of position of an object.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer;

Average velocity

Explanation;

  • Average Velocity of a moving body or an object is the ratio of total displacement covered to the time interval during which the displacement occurred.
  • That is; Change in displacement divided by time.
  • The formula, therefore will be;

Average velocity = Displacement/ the time interval

  • Instantaneous Velocity on the other hand is the velocity of an object or a body at some instance.
