Algebraically an average velocity is defined as v dt. For example you drive a car with a speed of 25 mph for 1 h in the city and then reach 70 mph for 3 h on the highway. Average velocity Total displacement total time.
Sol Initial distance traveled by the person x i 7 m.
Average velocity velocity₁ time₁ velocity₂ time₂. Algebraically an average velocity is defined as v dt. Speed or rate r is a scalar quantity that measures the distance traveled d over the change in time Dt represented by the equation r dDt. For a short interval of time the average velocity can be calculated as follows.
