Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	True
B	False
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The speed of a moving particle measures how fast it is moving. It does not tell about the direction of motion while in the case of velocity speed it has both magnitude and direction. So, the velocity of a moving particle measures the rate of change in position during its entire motion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Velocity is a vector quantity. As such, velocity is direction aware. When evaluating the velocity of an object, one must keep track of direction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Velocity is called as speed in a specified direction. Velocity tells us how fast or slow an object is moving in a specified direction.

Detailed explanation-4: -The speed of an object in a particular direction is called the velocity of an object. It is the rate of change of displacement. Velocity is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction while speed only possesses magnitude but not direction. SI unit of velocity is m/s.
