Identify the correct statement: (1) Distance travelled represents the magnitude of displacement (2) Average speed represents the magnitude of average velocity (3) Average acceleration = DV/DT (4) Instantaneous speed = magnitude of instantaneous velocity.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify the correct statement among several options related to concepts of physics, specifically distance, speed, and velocity.
Answer
Instantaneous speed = magnitude of instantaneous velocity.
The final answer is (4) Instantaneous speed = magnitude of instantaneous velocity.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is (4) Instantaneous speed = magnitude of instantaneous velocity.
More Information
Instantaneous speed is indeed the magnitude of instantaneous velocity since it ignores direction.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing average and instantaneous measures or overlooking directionality in speed and velocity.
