Question

The correct symbol to represent the speed of an object is

Answer 1

The correct symbol to represent the speed of an object is ''s".

Note, "s" denotes speed but "S" denotes displacement.

Answer 2

The correct symbol to represent the speed of an object is 'V'.

• The speed of an object is defined as the total distance traveled by an object to the time taken by the object.
• The Si unit of speed is m/s.
• The dimension of speed is [LT⁻¹]
• It is a scalar quantity.
• The formula to calculate speed is

          Speed = Distance / time

            v = S/t

Hence, the correct symbol to represent the speed of an object is 'V'.
