Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
No, "velocity is the pace and direction of an object's movement", whereas "speed is the time rate at which an object travels along a path". In other words, "velocity is a vector quantity", whereas "speed is a scalar quantity". Therefore, if the entire displacement equals the total distance or if the body moves in a straight line without changing direction, then the average speed and average velocity will be the same.
The correct statement would be that speed and velocity are not the same.
