First, we must differentiate the following two concepts to avoid confusion:
- Average speed
- Average velocity
Apparently, this is the same term, but in practice, it is not. Average speed asks you to know what is the general-classical average of the speed at which several drivers were traveling:
Example:
- Iván traveled at km/h.
- Samuel at km/h.
- Roberto at km/h
The average speed of all drivers by adding the speeds and dividing by km/h.
