Question

Can a average velocity be zero.Why? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Average velocity is the ratio of total displacement and time taken for that displacement:

$average \space\ velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}$

This means if displacement is zero, then average velocity will also be zero.

Displacement is zero when an object moves some distance in one direction, and then moves the same distance but in the opposite direction.

∴ As it is possible for displacement to be zero, it is also possible for average velocity to be zero.
