All buses and cars these days are fitted with a speedometer, which shows the velocity of the vehicle. A device called odometer records the distance moved by the vehicle. If the reading on the odometer of a vehicle in the beginning of a trip and after $40$ minutes were $1048\, km$ and $1096\, km$ respectively, calculate its average velocity. Will the reading on the speedometer show this velocity when the vehicle is moving ? Support your answer with reason.
