Question

Is it true or false that the displacement always equals the product of the average velocity and the time interval?

Answer 1

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

• Applying the definition of average velocity, we know that we can always write the following expression:

        $v_{avg} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$ (1)

• By definition, Δx is just the displacement, and Δt is the time interval.
• So, just rearranging terms in (1), we get:

        $\Delta x} = v_{avg}* {\Delta t}$
