Question

Statement 1: Magnitude of average velocity is equal to average speed, if velocity is constant.
Statement 2: If velocity is constant, then there is no change in the direction of motion.

• A. Statement-1 is True; Statement-2 is True; Statement -2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
• B. Statement-1 is True; Statement-2 is True; Statement -2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.
• C. Statement-1 is True; Statement-2 is False.
• D. Statement-1 is False; Statement-2 is True

Answer 1

The correct option is A Statement-1 is True; Statement-2 is True; Statement -2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

When a body is moving with constant velocity, it neither changes direction nor speed. So, distance and displacement are equal in this case due to which magnitudes of average velocity and average speed also becomes equal
