Q. Statement - 1 : In a given time interval, the average speed of a particle may be equal to magnitude of average velocity.
Statement - 2 : The magnitude of instantaneous velocity is equal to instantaneous speed of a particle in motion.

In Exercises 3.13 and 3.14, we have carefully distinguished between average speed and magnitude of average velocity. No such distinction is necessary when we consider instantaneous speed and magnitude of velocity. The instantaneous speed is always equal to the magnitude of instantaneous velocity. Why?

A particle is acted upon by a force of constant magnitude which is always perpendicular to the instantaneous velocity of the particle. The motion of the particle takes place in a plane. It follows that

Q. Statement 1: Magnitude of average velocity is equal to average speed.
Statement 2: Magnitude of instantaneous velocity is equal to instantaneous speed.

Q. In two dimensional motion, instantaneous speed

(a) The average velocity is not zero at any time
(b) Average acceleration must always vanish.
