Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves ?

Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves direction.

Direction

Explanation

Average speed involves taking only the magnitude in the calculation of the distance traveled and the time required whereas Average velocity takes both magnitude and direction in the calculation by taking the displacement occurred with total time.

Therefore, average speed, scalar quantity and average velocity, a vector quantity.

Scalar quantities are physical quantities considering magnitude whereas vector quantities are physical quantities considering magnitude and direction.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
