Question

The ratio of the numerical values of the average velocity and average speed of a body is always

• A. unity
• B. unity or less
• C. unity or more
• D. less than unity

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\frac{|\text{Average velocity}|}{|\text{Average speed}|}=\frac{|\text{displacement}|}{|\text{distance}|}\le 1$
Displacement will either be equal or less than distance. It can never be greater than distance.
