AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the magnitude of average speed can be less than the magnitude of average velocity for a moving object, let's analyze the definitions and relationships between distance, displacement, speed, and velocity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - **Average Speed**: It is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. Mathematically, it is expressed as: \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} ...
