Question

If a particle covers equal distances in equal interval of time, it is said to be moving with a uniform speed or velocity ????........

Answer 1

If a particle covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, it is said to be move with uniform speed.

Answer 2

Speed is the distance covered by a body per unit time. It is a scalar quantity as it has only magnitude and no direction.

On the other hand, velocity is the distance covered by a body per unit time in a particular direction. It is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction.

In the given case only distance and time is given and direction is not mentioned. Hence we can tell that the particle is said to be moving in uniform speed.
