Question

Consider a car that travels between points A and B. The car's average speed can be greater than the magnitude of its average velocity, but the magnitude of its average velocity can never be greater than its average speed.A) True B) False

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

True

Average speed is the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken and average velocity is total displacement to the total time.

And we know distance is either equal to or greater than displacement so we can say that for equal time interval magnitude of average velocity can never be greater than average speed.
