Here's why:
* Uniform Motion: This means an object is moving at a constant speed in a straight line. There's no acceleration.
* Average Velocity: Calculated by dividing the total displacement by the total time.
* Instantaneous Velocity: The velocity at a specific moment in time.
Since the object is moving at a constant speed in uniform motion, the instantaneous velocity will always be the same. Therefore, the average velocity, which is the average of all instantaneous velocities, will also be the same.
Example: A car traveling at a steady 60 km/h on a straight highway. Its instantaneous velocity is always 60 km/h, and its average velocity over any time interval will also be 60 km/h.
Note: In any other type of motion (like accelerated motion or non-uniform motion), the average velocity will not be equal to the instantaneous velocity. This is because the instantaneous velocity changes over time.
