Which of the following statements are correct?
$(a)$ Average speed of a particle in a given time interval is never less than the magnitude of average velocity.
$(b)$ It is possible to have a situation in which $|d\vec{v}/dt| \neq 0$ but $d/dt|\vec{v}| = 0$.
$(c)$ 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 velocity is never zero in the interval. (Infinite accelerations are not allowed).
