Answer:

average would be all your speeds divided by certain amounts of time and divided by the amounts of time you divided it into ///////// constant speed is is no going any faster or slower no acceleration.

Step-by-step explanation:

constant speed means that there is no acceleration. For example a car moving at 50 mph is going at a constant speed, but a car that is standing still on the road and speeds up to 50 pmh is in a constant state of acceleration. Once the car reaches 50 mph there is zero acceleration and you are moving at a constant speed. Constant speed

The average speed of an object is the total distance traveled by the object divided by the elapsed time to cover that distance. It's a scalar quantity which means it is defined only by magnitude. A related concept, average velocity, is a vector quantity. Average speed
