Over a given interval, average speed compared with magnitude of average velocity is
Aalways smaller
Balways equal
Cgreater or equal
Dnever greater
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. greater or equal
Path length is at least the magnitude of displacement, so average speed is greater than or equal to the magnitude of average velocity.
