NEET Physics Speed & Velocity MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations about speed and velocity is correct?
1 and 2 are true; 3 is false.
1 and 3 are true; 2 is false.
2 and 3 are true; 1 is false.
All statements are true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement 1 is true as the origin and direction are a matter of choice. Statement 2 is true because acceleration acts in the direction of velocity when speeding up and opposite when slowing down. Statement 3 is false since the sign of acceleration does not indicate whether speed is increasing or decreasing.
