उत्तर
Equal path lengths are traversed in equal intervals.
Explanation:
Speed (Instantaneous Speed): The magnitude of the velocity at any instant of time is known as instantaneous speed or simply speed at that instant of time. It is denoted by v.
Quantitatively: Speed = Distance/Time
Mathematically, it is the time rate at which distance is being travelled by the particle.
- Speed is a scalar quantity. It can never be negative (as shown by the speedometer of our vehicle).
- Instantaneous speed is the speed of a particle at a particular instant of time.
Hence, Total distance travelled = Path length = (Speed) × Time taken
Important point: We should be very careful with the fact that speed is related to the total distance covered not displacement.
