We were told to time the linear motion of 3 objects over a certain distance three times. Then we were to use those times to calculate the object's Vavg for each trial. Finally we were supposed to average these averages to get the overall Vavg for each object.
My question is: Is this an appropriate way to get the overall average velocity of the object over three trials. Wouldn't it be better to average the times and do distance over time with the average times?
