Question

How is average velocity calculated

Answer 1

Answer: (v) of an object is equal to its final velocity (v) plus initial velocity (u), divided by two. Where: ¯v = average velocity. v = final velocity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average velocity of an object is its total displacement divided by the total time taken. In other words, it is the rate at which an object changes its position from one place to another.

Answer 2

Average velocity is calculated by dividing the displacement by the time of travel.

The average velocity is calculated by dividing the displacement (change in position) by the time of travel.

In symbols, average velocity is given by the formula:

average velocity = (displacement) / (time)

For example, if a student has a displacement of 304 m north in 180 s, the average velocity can be calculated as:

average velocity = 304 m / 180 s = 1.69 m/s north
