Use a negative value for a leg travelled in the opposite direction (e.g. driving back).<\/li>\n<li>Enter the <strong>Segment times<\/strong> \u2014 the same number of values, in the same order as the distances. Each time must be greater than zero.<\/li>\n<li>Read the results: average speed (and average velocity in segment mode) in m\/s, km\/h and mph, plus a per-segment breakdown.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What Is Average Speed?<\/h2>\n<p>Average speed describes how fast you covered ground over a whole trip, regardless of how the pace varied along the way. It is a scalar quantity: it has a size but no direction. If you drove 150 km in two hours, your average speed was 75 km\/h even if you sometimes moved at 100 km\/h and sometimes sat at a red light. Physically, it is the constant speed at which you would have covered the same distance in the same time.<\/p>\n<p>A closely related but distinct quantity is <em>average velocity<\/em>, which is a vector: it equals the net displacement divided by the elapsed time. Displacement is the straight-line change in position from start to finish, not the path length. If you walk 3 km east and then 3 km west in one hour, your average speed is 6 km\/h, but your average velocity is zero because you ended where you started. This calculator shows both quantities when you enter segments, so you can see the difference concretely.<\/p>\n<p>How to interpret the result depends on the question you are asking. For travel planning, fuel estimates and \"how long will the trip take\" reasoning, average speed is what you need, because it is based on the actual route. Average velocity matters in physics problems involving direction \u2014 for example when analysing motion along a line with back-and-forth movement.<\/p>\n<h2>Assumptions, Limitations and Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Time includes stops.<\/strong> Average speed is based on total elapsed time. If your 2-hour trip included a 20-minute break, that break is part of \\( t \\). If you want the moving-time average, subtract the stops before entering the time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Segment mode is one-dimensional.<\/strong> A negative distance means \"opposite direction\". Trips that turn through angles (not just forward\/backward) cannot be fully described by a sign, so only the average speed is meaningful for them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No time between segments.<\/strong> The calculator assumes each segment's time covers everything that happened during it; gaps between segments are not modelled separately, so include waiting time inside the segment times.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The average is not a maximum.<\/strong> An average speed of 75 km\/h tells you nothing about the top speed reached \u2014 instantaneous speed can be much higher.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unit consistency.<\/strong> The calculator converts everything to SI units internally (metres and seconds), so you can mix units freely, e.g. distance in miles and time in minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are solving a more detailed motion problem, you may also find the <a href=\"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/physics\/kinematic-equations-solver\/\">Kinematic Equations Solver<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/physics\/displacement-calculator\/\">Displacement Calculator<\/a> useful.
