The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each statement regarding the relationships between speed, velocity, and acceleration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Speed and Velocity**: - Speed is a scalar quantity that only has magnitude (how fast an object is moving). - Velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction (how fast and in which direction an object is moving). 2. **Analyzing Option 1**: - **Statement**: An object may have varying speed without having varying velocity. - If the velocity does not vary, it means both the magnitude and direction of the velocity remain constant. Therefore, the speed cannot vary. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Analyzing Option 2**: - **Statement**: An object may have varying velocity without having varying speed. - If the speed is constant (magnitude does not change), the velocity can still vary if the direction changes. For example, an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed has a varying velocity due to the change in direction. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 4. **Analyzing Option 3**: - **Statement**: An object may have non-zero acceleration without having varying velocity. - Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. If the velocity is not changing, then the acceleration must be zero. Therefore, it is impossible to have non-zero acceleration without a change in velocity. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 5. **Analyzing Option 4**: - **Statement**: An object may have non-zero acceleration without having varying speed. - If the speed is constant (magnitude does not change), the velocity can still vary if the direction changes. For instance, an object moving in a circular path at constant speed experiences non-zero acceleration due to the change in direction. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Final Answer: The correct options are **Option 2** and **Option 4**. ---
