Question
During a given time interval the average velocity of an object is zero. What can you say conclude about its displacement over the time interval?
Step 1
Step 1: The average velocity of an object is given by the formula: \[ v_{avg} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} \] where \( \Delta x \) is the displacement and \( \Delta t \) is the time interval. Show more…

If the average velocity of an object is zero in some time interval, what can you say about the displacement of the object for that interval?
What can you say about an object's displacement during some time interval if its average velocity is zero during that interval? What can you say about the displacement if the average acceleration is zero?
If the acceleration of an object is zero and its velocity is nonzero, what can you say about the motion of the object? Sketch graphs of velocity versus time and acceleration versus time to support your explanation.
