Answer 2

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.
