Question

A particle covers equal distance in equal interval of time, It is said to be moving with uniform

• A. Speed
• B. Acceleration
• C. Velocity
• D. Retardation

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Speed

Explanation for Correct answer:

(A) Speed

1. Speed is defined as the distance traveled by a body at a particular time.
2. $Speed=\frac{dis\tan ce}{time}$
3. As given the particle is covering equal distances with equal intervals of time, It must be uniform speed.

Explanation for incorrect answer:

(B): Acceleration

Acceleration is the ratio of velocity to the time taken.

(C): Velocity

Velocity is the ratio of displacement to the time taken.

(D): Retardation

Retardation is the negative value of acceleration.

Therefore, a particle covers an equal distance in an equal interval of time, It is said to be moving with uniform speed.
Hence, Option (A) is the correct answer.
