The correct statement is Velocity of a moving body is its speed in a given direction.
Explanation:
- Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity.
- A scalar quantity is one that has only magnitude and a vector quantity has magnitude as well as direction.
- Speed is defined as distance per unit time. Distance is the total path covered by the body. There is no concept of direction in displacement.
- Velocity is defined as the displacement of the body per unit time and displacement is the difference between final and initial positions of a body. Here, displacement is also a vector quantity and so it includes the direction in which the body has moved from its initial position.
- The magnitude of velocity and speed is same.
- Speed with direction included is called velocity.
