Distinguish between average speed and average velocity.

If magnitude of average speed and average velocity over a time interval are same, then

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.

Assertion In circular motion, dot product of v and omega is always zero. Reason omega is always perpendicular to the plane of the circular motion.

Give an example of motion in which average speed is not zero, but average velocity is zero.

What is the significance of average velocity or average speed?

Assertion : Magnitude of average velocity is equal to average speed, if velocity is constant. Reson : If velocity is constant, then there is no change in the direction of motion.

The magnitude of average velocity is equal to the average speed when a particle moves:-

Can a body have a. Zero instantaneous velocity and yet be accelerating? b. Zero average speed but non-zero average velocity? c. Negative acceleration and yet be speeding up? d. Magnitude of average velocity be equal to average speed ?

Assertion In circular motion, acceleration of particle is not always towards centre. Reason If speed of particle is not constant, acceleration is not towards centre.
