Consider the following statements and select the incorrect statements.

I. The magnitude of instantaneous velocity of a particle is equal to its instantaneous speed

II. The magnitude of the average velocity in an interval is equal to its average speed in that interval.

III. It is possible to have a situation in which the speed of the particle is never zero but the average speed in an interval is zero.

IV. It is possible to have a situation in which the speed of particle is zero but the average speed is not zero.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

II, III and IV

Option A (II, III and IV) is correct because these statements are incorrect regarding the relationship between instantaneous and average speeds and velocities.

Velocity-time curve for a body projected vertically upwards is Two cars A and B approach each other at the same speed, then what will be the velocity of A if velocity of B is

8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

? Two cars are moving in the same direction with a speed of

30\mathrm{km}{\mathrm{h}^{ - 1}}

. They are separated from each other by 5 km. Third car moving in the opposite direction meets the two cars after an interval of 4 min. What is the speed of the third car? A body is projected vertically up with ‘u’. Its velocity at half its maximum height is A scooter starts from rest have an acceleration of

1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}

150 \mathrm{~m}

behind it starts from rest with an acceleration of

2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}

. After how much time, the car catches up with the scooter? A motor vehicle travelled the first one third of a distance ‘S ’ at a speed of

{V_1} = 10\,kmph

, the second one third at a speed of

{V_2} = 20\,kmph

and the last one third at a speed of

{V_3} = 60\,kmph

determine the mean speed of the vehicle over the entire distance ‘S ’
