my book Physics for Scientist and Engineers call this, average velocity equation. Although I know of the more basic one, which is displacement over time, My book still calls this equation Vx,avg(average velocity)
So time and time again my professor has reinforced that speed and velocity are not the same. One is a scalar the other a vector, ect... But time and time again I will be asked to solve homework problems that ask for the speed of an object, yet the answer is velocity and using equations for...
I am taking my first physics class at school and seem to be having a hard time doing the problems(web assign problems). The course is calculus based which is okay with me because I am in Calc 3. Problem is that I can not find any good Calc based physics resources. My book "Physics for Scientists...
