Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves? a. distance b. time c. motion d. displacement

Answer : The correct option is, (d) displacement

Explanation :

Average speed : It is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time taken. The speed and distance is a scalar quantity which do not depend on the direction of an object.

Formula for average speed :

Average velocity : It is defined as the displacement divided by the time taken. The velocity and displacement is a vector quantity which depend on the magnitude and the direction of an object.

Formula for average velocity :

Hence, the average velocity involves the displacement.

No because scientist are still changing there mines today so they are not correct to this day
