Question
What is the difference between velocity and average velocity?
Solution
| Velocity | Average Velocity | |
| 1. | Velocity is equal to the rate of change of position vector with respect to time. | Average velocity is the ratio of the displacement vector to the corresponding time interval |
| 2. | V = `lim_{Δt → 0} (Δvecr)/(Δt) = (dvecr)/(dt)` | `"v"_"avg" = (Δvecr)/(Δt)` |
