Read the statement below carefully and state with reason, if it is true or false:
The average speed of a particle (defined as total path length divided by the time taken to cover the path) is either greater or equal to the magnitude of average velocity of the particle over the same interval of time.
पर्याय
True
False
उत्तर
This statement is True.
Explanation:
The total path length is always greater than or equal to the magnitude of displacement of a particle. Therefore, the average speed is greater or equal to the magnitude of the average velocity.
