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.
