Question

Distance covered by a body in unit time is called its speed.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Mathematically distance can be calculated by using the formula.
   $$\begin{gathered} Dis\tan ce=Speed\times Time \\ orSpeed=\frac{Dis\tan ce}{Time} \end{gathered}$$
2. Therefore speed is equal to the distance covered by a body in a unit of time.
3. The SI unit is $m/s$.

Hence, the given statement is true.
