There is a distinction between average speed and the magnitude of average velocity. Give an example that illustrates the difference between these two quantities.
Bacteria move back and forth using their flagella (structures that look like little tails). Speeds of up to 50m/s(50106m/s) have been observed. The total distance traveled by a bacterium is large for its size, whereas its displacement is small. Why is this?
An airplane leaves Chicago and makes the 3000-km trip Los Angeles in 5.0 h. A second plane leaves Chicago one-half hour later and arrives in Los Angeles at the same time. Compare the average velocities of the two planes. Ignore the curvature of Earth and the difference in altitude between the two cities.
