(a) What is the average speed of the car during the period?

(b) What is the average velocity?

Solution:

(a) $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{avg}}=\frac{\text { Total distance }}{\text { time }}=\frac{(12416-12352)}{2}$

$V_{\text {avq }}=32 \mathrm{kmph}$

(b) $\vec{V}$ =displacement $/$ time

$\vec{V}_{\text {avg }}=0$
