NEET Physics Speed & Velocity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The instantaneous speed of an object is always equal to the magnitude of its instantaneous velocity.
Reason (R): Average speed over a finite interval of time is always greater than or equal to the magnitude of the average velocity.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Instantaneous speed is indeed the magnitude of instantaneous velocity, but the reason provided explains the relationship between average speed and average velocity, not the instantaneous case.
