उत्तर
velocity of a moving body is its speed in a given direction
Velocity is a vector quantity having a magnitude and a specific direction. So, velocity is nothing but speed in a particular direction.

Name the physical quantity obtained by dividing ‘Distance travelled’ by ‘Time taken’ to travel that distance.
Arrange the following speed in increasing order (keeping the least speed first):
An athlete running with a speed of 10 m/s.
A train starting from Railway Station attains a speed of 21 m/s in one minute. Find its acceleration.
A car is moving on a straight road with uniform acceleration. The speed of the car varies with time as follows :
Time (s) : 0 2 4 6 8 10
Speed (m/s) : 4 8 12 16 20 24
