Which of the following four statements is false?
1. A body can have zero velocity and still be accelerated.
2. A body can have a constant velocity and still have a varying speed.
3. A body can have a constant speed and still have a varying velocity.
4. The direction of the velocity of a body can change when its acceleration is constant.
A particle moving in a straight line covers half the distance with a speed of \(3~\text{m/s}\). The other half of the distance is covered in two equal time intervals with speeds of \(4.5~\text{m/s}\) and \(7.5~\text{m/s}\) respectively. The average speed of the particle during this motion is:
1. | \(4.0~\text{m/s}\) | 2. | \(5.0~\text{m/s}\) |
3. | \(5.5~\text{m/s}\) | 4. | \(4.8~\text{m/s}\) |
Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below:
(1) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
(2) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(3) If assertion is true but reason is false.
(4) If the assertion and reason both are false.
(5) If assertion is false but reason is true.
Assertion : The average velocity of the object over an interval of time is either smaller than or equal to the average speed of the object over the same interval.
Reason : Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity.

(5) If assertion is false but reason is true.
Assertion : An object can have constant speed but variable velocity.
Reason : Speed is a scalar but velocity is a vector quantity.

(5) If assertion is false but reason is true.
Assertion : The average speed of a body over a given interval of time is equal to the average velocity of the body in the same interval of time if a body moves in a straight line in one direction.
Reason : Because in this case distance travelled by a body is equal to the displacement of the body.
