Give an example of motion in which average speed is not zero, but average velocity is zero.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a body starts its motion from a point and returns to the same point after a certain time, then the displacement is zero and average velocity is also zero. But the total distance travelled is not, zero, hence the average speed in not zero.
