Solution

Difference between the average speed and average velocity -
Average speed Average velocity
Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. Speed takes into account the total path length traveled.
Average speed is a scalar quantity.
Average speed is always positive.
Average velocity is the displacement divided by the time. Velocity only takes into account the starting and ending points of an object’s path.
Average velocity is a vector quantity.
Average velocity can be positive or negative depending on the direction.
