Q. The sign (+ ve or $-$ ve $)$ of the average velocity depends only upon

Motion in a Straight Line

Solution:

Since, average velocity, $\bar{v}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{\text { Displacement }}{\text { Time interval }}$
Thus, average velocity depends on the displacement and hence, it can be positive or negative depending upon the sign of the displacement.
