sam ran 5 miles and had both an average speed of 5mph and an average velocity of 0 mph.
Explain how this is possible
:
Velocity is the rate of change in certain direction, speed does not include direction
Sam must have run in one direction the same distance and speed, he ran in the opposite direction. The velocity cancels out
