In my Calculus class we had a problem to compare average velocity with respect to time vs. average velocity with respect to position.
Average velocity with respect to time is what is usually used in everyday language... "I drove to LA. I averaged 70 mph".
Then the Calc teacher asked what was the significance of expressing average velocity with respect to position. He said that there is a significance to it in Physics. Go ask your Physics friends...
Well... you people are my Physics friends.
