Velocity/instantaneous velocity question?

Question

In a demonstration a ball falls directly to the ground. Which of the following statements about this event is not correct? (Assume downward is the positive direction.)

a)The average velocity during the first half of the fall is greater than the average velocity during the entire experiment.
b)The magnitude of the displacement of the ball and the distance traveled by the ball are the same.
c)The magnitude of the average velocity and the average speed are equivalent when expermient begins.
d)The instantaneous speed of the ball increases as the fall continues.

Answer 1

a)The average velocity during the first half of the fall is greater than the average velocity during the entire experiment. - is not correct
