es the ground.*S/ Explain the terms ‘average velocity, and instantaneous velocity, when are they equal?

Answer»

The average velocity of an object is its total displacement divided by the total time taken. In other words, it is the rate at which an object changes its position from one place to another. Average velocity is a Vector quantity. The SI unit is meters per second.

Instantaneous velocity is defined as the rate of change of position for a time interval which is very small (almost zero).

Average velocity is equal to the instantaneous velocity when acceleration is zero. In order for acceleration of an object to equal zero, there can be no change in speed or direction. For example, when a car is traveling down a straight road on flat land using cruise control.
