Answer to Question #122711 in Physics for seemal

Question

If the average velocity of the object in the given interval of time is zero, what will be value of its displacement? Explain the reason.

Answer 1

The displacement will be zero as well because the average velocity is total displacement divided by total time:

$$v=\frac{\Delta x}{t}.$$

$v=0$ is only possible when $\Delta x=0$.
