Question

Uniform speed is a vector quantity.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.
2. Velocity, being a vector, has both a magnitude as well as a direction. The magnitude of the velocity vector at any moment is the instantaneous speed of the object. The direction of the velocity vector is directed in the same direction as the movement of the object.
3. Velocity is represented as $\overrightarrow{v}$.
4. Velocity being a vector quantity is directly proportional to displacement, which is also a vector quantity.
5. $Velocity,\overrightarrow{v}=\frac{Displacement}{Time}$

Thus, uniform speed is not a vector quantity.

Hence, the given statement is false.
