When a body moves with uniform velocity then its:
Correct answer: D. Instantaneous velocity is equal to average velocity
- A. Average velocity is zero
- B. Instantaneous velocity is greater than average velocity
- C. Instantaneous velocity is zero
- D. Instantaneous velocity is equal to average velocity
- E. instantaneous velocity in less than average velocity
Explanation
When a body moves with uniform velocity, its instantaneous velocity remains constant over time. Therefore, the correct answer is: Instantaneous velocity is equal to average velocity. In uniform velocity, velocity does not change. Since the velocity remains constant, the instantaneous velocity at any given moment is equal to the average velocity over the entire duration of the motion. So option D is the correct answer.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
