Kinematics - Numericals On Average Speed And Average Velocity

Are the magnitudes of average velocity and average speed equal?

Average Velocity And Average Speed

Average Speed||Velocity||Average Velocity

When can the speed and average speed of a vehicle be equal?

Assertion : In a uniform circular motion, the linear speed and angular speed of the body are constant. Reason : A body can move on a circular path without having acceleration.

For a body moving along a circular path the average velocity and average speed can never be equal

Assertion : On a curved path, average speed of a particle can never be equal to average velocity. Reason : Average speed is total distance travelled divided by total time. Whereas average velocity is, final velocity plus initial velocity divided by two.
