Unity or less

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement to total time,while average speed is the ratio of total distance to total time.Mathematically,$	ext{Average velocity} = \frac{	ext{Displacement}}{	ext{Time}}$ and $	ext{Average speed} = \frac{	ext{Distance}}{	ext{Time}}$.Therefore,the ratio is $\frac{|	ext{Average velocity}|}{|	ext{Average speed}|} = \frac{|	ext{Displacement}|}{	ext{Distance}}$.Since the magnitude of displacement is always less than or equal to the distance traveled $(|	ext{Displacement}| \le 	ext{Distance})$,the ratio must be $\le 1$.Thus,the ratio is unity or less.

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