When do you use the equation v=total distance/total time
and when do you use the equation v = (v1+v2)/2
Thank you

and when do you use the equation v = (v1+v2)/2

Average velocity is a measure of the overall displacement of an object over a specific period of time. It is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.
The formula for calculating average velocity is v=total distance/total time. This means that you divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken to get the average velocity of an object.
This formula is an alternative way of calculating average velocity, where v1 is the initial velocity and v2 is the final velocity. By taking the average of these two velocities, you can calculate the average velocity of the object.
Yes, average velocity can be negative if the object is moving in the opposite direction of its initial position. This indicates that the object is moving in a negative direction or towards its starting point.
No, average velocity and instantaneous velocity are different. Average velocity is the overall displacement over a specific period of time, while instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object at a specific moment in time.
