(FALSE) The statement is False.
In one-dimensional motion with uniform velocity,the average velocity is equal to the instantaneous velocity at any point in time.
Even in non-uniform motion,the average velocity over an interval can be equal to the instantaneous velocity at a specific moment within that interval,so the statement that they are always unequal is incorrect.

What determines the direction of motion of an object: velocity or acceleration?

All buses and cars these days are fitted with a speedometer,which shows the velocity of the vehicle. $A$ device called odometer records the distance moved by the vehicle. If the reading on the odometer of a vehicle in the beginning of a trip and after $40 \text{ minutes}$ were $1048 \text{ km}$ and $1096 \text{ km}$ respectively,calculate its average velocity. Will the reading on the speedometer show this velocity when the vehicle is moving? Support your answer with reason.

$A$ body can have zero average velocity but not zero average speed. Justify this statement by giving an example.

The average time taken by a normal person to react to an emergency is $1/15$ of a second and is called the 'reaction time'. If a bus is moving with a velocity of $60 \, km/h$ and its driver sees a child running across the road,how much distance would the bus have moved before he could press the brakes? The reaction time of the people increases when they are intoxicated. How much distance would the bus have moved if the reaction time of the driver were $1/2 \, s$ under the influence of alcohol?
