Unit of instantaneous velocity is:

Correct answer: B. m/s

  • A. m/s2
  • B. m/s
  • C. m
  • D. 1/s

Explanation

Option A: m/s^2: This unit represents meters per second squared and is the unit of acceleration. It is used to measure how an object's velocity changes over time.Option B: This unit represents meters per second and is the unit of instantaneous velocity. It measures the rate at which an object changes its position with respect to time at a specific moment.Option C: M: This unit represents meters and is the unit of length. It measures the distance traveled by an object.Option D: 1/s: This unit represents per second and is often used to measure frequency or rate. It indicates the number of occurrences or events per second.

About Displacement and Velocity

Displacement is the directed change in position, while velocity is the rate of change of displacement and includes both magnitude and direction. The topic connects position-time and velocity-time graphs with average and instantaneous values, and distinguishes displacement from distance and velocity from speed.
