Per NCERT, what is INSTANTANEOUS SPEED of an object?
AThe same as instantaneous velocity always (including sign)
BThe MAGNITUDE of instantaneous velocity — always non-negative
CAverage of speed values
DTotal distance / total time
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. The MAGNITUDE of instantaneous velocity — always non-negative
Per NCERT §2.2, instantaneous speed = |instantaneous velocity|, always ≥ 0.
