Final answer:
For the GRASP CHECK question, the answer is True; the average speed can be greater than the average velocity because speed does not account for direction, whereas velocity does. This is particularly the case when an object returns to its starting point.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement 'It takes anywhere from 4-7 shots to sink your ball on a par 5' does not relate to the GRASP CHECK question provided, which concerns the concepts of average speed and average velocity. To address the GRASP CHECK question directly: True or False: The average speed of the ball will be less than the average velocity of the ball. The answer is a. True.
Average speed is the total distance travelled divided by the total time, regardless of direction, while average velocity is displacement divided by time. If an object returns to its starting point, the displacement is zero, hence average velocity is zero. However, as long as distance travelled is not zero, the average speed will be greater than zero, thus greater than the average velocity in this case.
