NEET Physics Speed & Velocity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The instantaneous speed is always equal to the magnitude of instantaneous velocity.
Reason (R): Average speed over a finite interval of time is greater 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
The assertion is true as instantaneous speed is defined as the magnitude of instantaneous velocity. The reason is also true but it does not explain the assertion, as it pertains to average values over a finite time interval, not instantaneous values.
