True/false: The displacement always equals the product of the average velocity and the time interval. Explain your choice.
Added by Tammy R.
Step 1
Displacement is the change in position of an object, and it is a vector quantity. Average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time taken. The time interval is the duration over which the motion occurs. Show more…

True or false? Give an explanation for your answer. If an object moves with the same average velocity over every time interval, then its average velocity equals its instantaneous velocity at any time.
Key Concept: The Derivative
How do We Measure Speed?
Are the statements true or false? Give an explanation for your answer. The formula Distance traveled $=$ Average velocity $\times$ Time is valid for every moving object for every time interval.
How Do We Measure Speed?
Determine whether the statement is true or false. Explain your answer. The distance traveled by a particle over a time interval is the magnitude of the displacement vector for the particle during that time interval.
