Which of the following statements is incorrect? (i) Average velocity i

1.	Which of the following statements is incorrect? (i) Average velocity is path length divided by time interval. (ii) In general, speed is greater than the magnitude of the velocity. (iii) A particle moving in a given direction with a non-zero velocity can have zero speed. (iv) The magnitude of average velocity is the average speed.A. (ii) and (iii)B. (ii) and (iv)C. (i), (iii) and (iv)D. All four
Answer» Correct Answer - C (c ) : Average velocity = Displacement/Time interval A particle moving in a given direction with non-zero velocity cannot have zero period. In general, average speed is not equal to magnitude of average velocity. However it can be so if the motion is aolong a straight line without change in direction .
