"The magnitude of average velocity is equal to average speed". This statement is not always correct and not always incorrect. Explain with example,

Assertion: The average velocity of a particle is zero in a time interval. It is possible that the instantaneous acceleration is never zero in the interval. Reason: The magnitude of average velocity in an interval is equal to its average speed in that interval.

Under what condition (s) is the magnitude of average velocity of an object is equal to its average speed ?

Under what condition (s) is the magnitude of average velocity of an object is equal to its average speed ?

Explain clearly, with examples, the distinction between : (a) magnitude of displacement (sometimes called distance) over an interval of time, and the total length of path covered by a particle over the same interval, (b) magnitude of average velocity over an interval of time, and the average speed over the same interval. (Average speed of a particle over an interval of time is defined as the total path length divided by the time interval]. Show in both (a) and (b) that the second quantity is either greater than or equal to the first. When is the equality sign true ? (For simplicity, consider onedimensional motion only).

A man walks on a straight road from his home to a market 2.5 km away with a speed of 5 km h^(-1) . Finding the market closed, he instantly turns and walks back home with a speed of 7.5 km h^(-1) . What is the (a) magnitude of average velocity, and (b) average speed of the man over the interval of time (i) 0 to 30 min, (ii) 0 to 50 min, (iii) 0 to 40 min ? [Note: You will appreciate from this exercise why it is better to define average speed as total path length divided by time, and not as magnitude of average velocity. You would not like to tell the tired man on his return home that his average speed was zero !]

A particle is projected with a speed v and an angle theta to the horizontal. After a time t, the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity is equal to the magnitude of the average velocity from 0 to t. Find t.

Explain average velocity and average speed.

A particle executes linear simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 3 cm. When the particle is at 2 cm from the mean position, the magnitude of its velocity is equal to that of its acceleration. Then its time period in second is…….
