Suppose a body moving in a curved path at a constant speed would its average velocity for a specific time period equal its final instantaneous velocity at the end of this period ?
To be precise, the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity will equal the constant speed.Thank you for replying
So if we consider a circular path, I suppose that the instantaneous velocity will equal the constant speed since the magnitude of the displacement vector will equal the distance at some instance during the period ?
If the path is curved then v(instantaneous) is changing all the time. Its magnitude is constant (same value as its unvarying speed) and direction is what is changing.Thank you for replying
