The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the correct statement regarding velocity and speed, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Velocity and Speed**: - Velocity is defined as the displacement of an object divided by the time taken for that displacement. It has both magnitude and direction. - Speed is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time taken. It only has magnitude and no direction. 2. **Analyzing Option 1**: - The statement claims that "the magnitude of the velocity of a particle is equal to its speed." - This is true because the magnitude of velocity (which is a vector) is indeed the same as speed (which is a scalar). Therefore, this option is correct. 3. **Analyzing Option 2**: - The statement claims that "the magnitude of the average velocity on an interval is equal to its average speed in that interval." - This is false. Average velocity considers displacement, while average speed considers total distance traveled. They are equal only in specific cases (e.g., straight-line motion without changing direction). Thus, this option is incorrect. 4. **Analyzing Option 3**: - The statement claims that "it is possible to have a situation in which the speed of a particle is always 0 but average speed is not 0." - This is logically inconsistent. If the speed is always 0, then the average speed must also be 0. Therefore, this option is incorrect. 5. **Analyzing Option 4**: - The statement claims that "it is possible to have a situation in which the speed of a particle is not 0 but the average speed in an interval is 0." - This is also logically inconsistent. If the speed is not 0, then the average speed cannot be 0. Therefore, this option is incorrect. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all the options, we find that **Option 1** is the correct statement: "The magnitude of the velocity of a particle is equal to its speed."
