प्रश्न
Which of the following statement is correct regarding velocity and speed of a moving body?
विकल्प
velocity of a moving body is always higher than its speed
speed of a moving body is always higher than its velocity
speed of a moving body is its velocity in a given direction
velocity of a moving body is its speed in a given direction
उत्तर
velocity of a moving body is its speed in a given direction
Velocity is a vector quantity having a magnitude and a specific direction. So, velocity is nothing but speed in a particular direction.
