The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements regarding average velocity and average speed. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Average Velocity and Average Speed**: - Average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time taken. - Average speed is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims that the magnitude of average velocity is equal to average speed if velocity is constant. - For the average velocity and average speed to be equal, the total displacement must equal the total distance traveled. - This equality holds true only when the direction of motion does not change, meaning the motion is in a straight line without any deviation. 3. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: - If the velocity is constant (both magnitude and direction), then the average velocity (which depends on displacement) will equal the average speed (which depends on distance). - Therefore, Statement 1 is **True**. 4. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - Statement 2 states that it is possible for the magnitude of average velocity to equal average speed when the direction of motion keeps changing. - If the direction of motion changes, the displacement (which is a vector quantity) will not equal the total distance traveled. - Hence, if the direction changes, the average velocity will not equal the average speed. 5. **Conclusion for Statement 2**: - Since changing direction implies that the displacement is less than the distance traveled, Statement 2 is **False**. 6. **Final Evaluation**: - Based on the analysis, we conclude that Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false. ### Final Answer: - Statement 1 is True. - Statement 2 is False.
