What is speed? |
It is the distance covered by an object in a unit time. It is the velocity of an object per unit time. It is the force applied on covering a unit distance. It is the acceleration of an object per unit time. |
It is the distance covered by an object in a unit time. |
The correct answer is option 1. It is the distance covered by an object in a unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity that measures how fast an object is moving. It is defined as the distance traveled by an object divided by the time taken to travel that distance. Mathematically, speed (\(v\)) is expressed as: \[v = \frac{d}{t}\] where \(d\) represents the distance covered by the object and \(t\) represents the time taken to cover that distance. Speed is measured in units such as meters per second (m/s), kilometers per hour (km/h), miles per hour (mph), etc. |
