Average <u>speed</u> = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) =
(5m) / (15 sec) =
(5/15) (m/s) = <em>1/3 m/s</em> .
Average <u>velocity</u> =
(displacement) / (time spent traveling) in the direction of the displacement
Average velocity = (5m) / (15 sec) left =
(5/15) / (m/sec) left =
<em>1/3 m/s left</em>.
A number without a direction is a speed, not a velocity.
Free insulative sheets and insulative sheets backed by a grounded conductor are the only cases in which it is possible to extract reliable information from a noncontacting measurement of the charged state of an insulator. In both cases, the electric field from the charge is the deciding factor.<span>
