(a) The average speed of a particle in a given time is never less than the magnitude of the average velocity.
(b) It is possible to have a situation in which |d(→v)/dt| ≠ 0 but d|→v|/dt = 0.
(c) The average velocity of a particle is zero in a time interval. It is possible that the instantaneous velocity is never zero in the interval.
(d) The average velocity of a particle moving on a straight line is zero in a time interval. It is possible that the instantaneous velocity is never zero in the interval. (Infinite accelerations are not allowed.)
