Define velocity. Define average velocity.
(N/A) Velocity: The rate of change of displacement of an object with respect to time is called velocity. It is a vector quantity,meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The $SI$ unit of velocity is $m/s$.
Average velocity: The average velocity of an object is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time interval taken to cover that displacement. Mathematically,$v_{avg} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$,where $\Delta x$ is the total displacement and $\Delta t$ is the total time interval.

View SolutionThe position of an object moving along the $X$-axis is given by $x = \alpha + \beta t^2$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants with appropriate dimensions and $t$ is time in seconds. The average velocity between $t = 2 \ s$ and $t = 4 \ s$ is $12 \ m/s$. If $\alpha = 8 \ m$, then the value of $\beta$ is: (in $m/s^2$)
