Question

Q3. Can speed of an object be zero? Give reason for your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer: it’s a pleasure to help you friend.

Explanation: Speed is the distance travelled in the given time. Distance can never be zero. Therefore, average speed will always be a positive value and will not be zero. Speed is a scalar quantity and has only magnitude.

Hope it’s useful friend..

Good luck and have a great day..

Stay safe and happy !!

Keep rocking !!

Answer 2

Answer:

The speed of an object can never be zero as the distance can never be zero.

Explanation:

Speed is the rate of change of position of an object in any direction.

It is also called as rate of change of distance with respect to time.

Mathematically,

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Distance is defined at the total path length covered by an object.

It is a scaler quantity. It has only magnitude, no direction.

Hence, speed of an object can never be zero because the distance can never be zero. Since distance is positive, speed can also never be zero.
