Which of the following statements is incorrect? (i) Average velocity is path length divided by time interval.
(ii) In general, speed is greater than the magnitude of the velocity.
(iii) A particle moving in a given direction with a non-zero velocity can have zero speed. (iv) The magnitude of average velocity is the average speed.

A

(ii) and (iii)

B

(ii) and (iv)

C

(i), (iii) and (iv)

D

All four

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c ) : Average velocity = Displacement/Time interval
A particle moving in a given direction with non-zero velocity cannot have zero period.
In general, average speed is not equal to magnitude of average velocity. However it can be so if the motion is aolong a straight line without change in direction .
