Under which of the following conditions is the magnitude of the average velocity of a particle moving in one dimension smaller than the average speed over some time interval?

A particle moves in the +x direction and then reverses the direction of its velocity

Explanation:

This is illustrated in that when a particle moves in a straight route with no alterations in direction, this will lead to displacement and distance being equal at any point in time during the movement. Thereby the quantity of average speed and average velocity will equal.

On the other hand, should the particle reverses direction, the distance traveled will be greater than it's displacement, thereby, the average speed will be greater than the average velocity.
