When the velocity is constant, does the average velocity over any time interval differ from theinstantaneous velocity at any instant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If there is no acceleration (change in velocity) then yes, the average and instantaneous velocity will be equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, when the v is constant an instant v any time will be same as avg v, and the accelaration would be zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no because it is constant at every instant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, the velocity is constant, which means that it is staying the same. Therefore the average velocity will equal the velocity at any given moment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if velocity is constant the average acceleration is (v2-v1)/delta t = 0 even time is not zero the change in or delta velocity is zero. Therefore, velocity is constant meaning no change and no instantaneuous acceleration with exception from rest to the constant state of velocity, right.

this excludes drag or friction forces that may apply themselves at variable levels in a real environment.
