A body can have zero average velocity but not zero average speed. Justify giving an example.
A body can have zero average velocity but not zero average speed. Justify giving an example.
When a body starts moving from a reference point and returns back after sometime, its average velocity is zero but average speed has some magnitude.
Example : After completing a complete rotation on a circular path, the average velocity of an object is zero but its average speed is a ratio of circumference of the path and time taken in traversing it.
