Problem

A cyclist rides from point A to point B along a straight road and immediately returns to A along the same path, taking equal time for each half of the journey. Which statement correctly describes her average speed vavgv_{\text{avg}} and average velocity vˉ\bar v for the complete trip? (a) Both vavgv_{\text{avg}} and vˉ\bar v are zero. (b) vavgv_{\text{avg}} is zero, while vˉ\bar v is positive towards BB. (c) vavgv_{\text{avg}} is positive, while vˉ\bar v is zero. (d) vavgv_{\text{avg}} is positive, while vˉ\bar v is negative towards AA.
