Assertion : When a particle moves with constant velocity its average velocity, its
instantaneous velocity and its speed are all equal in magnitude.
Reason : If the average velocity of a particle moving on a straight line is zero in a time
interval, then it is possible that the instantaneous .velocity is never zero in the interval.

Q 11. Assertion : In successive time intervals, if the average velocities of a particle are equal then
the particle must be moving with constant velocity.

decrease with time.

Q 15. Assertion : Distance is the actual length of the path but magnitude of displacement is the
shortest distance between initial and final positions.
Reason : Distance is a scalar quantity and it is always positive or zero but displacement is a
vector quantity. It may be positive, negative or zero.
