Physics-Speed & Velocity
NEET Physics Speed & Velocity Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): The average speed of a particle is always greater than or equal to the magnitude of its average velocity over the same time interval. | Reason (R): Average speed is calculated as the total path length divided by the time interval, whereas average velocity is the total displacement divided by the time interval.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The distinction between average speed and average velocity is based on the total path length vs. displacement, as stated in the NCERT context.
