Assertion: The average speed of a body o...

Assertion: The average speed of a body over a given interval of time is equal to the average velocity of the body in the same interval of time if a body moves in a straight line in one direction.
Reason: Because in this case distance travelled by a body is equal to the displacement of the body.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assersion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
When a body moves on a straight path in one direction value of distance and displacement remains same so that average speed equals the average velocity for a given time interval.

    Assrtion o (A) : A body may have velocity and displacement in the oppostie direction Reason (R) : Velocity is distance travellled by the body in a unit time

    A body of mass m at rest starts moving along straight line by a machine delivering a constant power distance travelled by body in time t is

    Assertion (A): A body may have velocity and displacement in the opposite directions. Reason (R): Velocity is distance travelled by the body in a unit time.

    Assertion: The average velocity of the object over an interval of time is either smaller then or equal to the average speed of the object over the same interval. Reason: Velocity is a vector quantity and speed s a scalar quantity.

    It magnitude of average speed and average velocity over an interval of time are same, then
