Question

The formula to calculate speed of an object is $Speed=\frac{Dis\tan ce\left(d\right)}{Timetaken\left(t\right)}$..

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Speed:

1. The rate of change of position of an object in any direction.
2. Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time in which the distance was covered.
3. Speed is a scalar quantity as it has only direction and no magnitude.
4. $Speed\left(S\right)=\frac{Dis\tan ce\left(d\right)}{timetaken\left(t\right)}$
5. The SI unit of Speed is $\raisebox{1ex}{$m$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$s$}\right.$.

Hence, the given statement is true.
