Question

speed will always be a ____________ value. positive negative rewatch submit

Explanation:

Speed is a scalar quantity. Scalar quantities have only magnitude and no direction. Since speed represents how fast an object is moving, it cannot be negative. It is calculated as the distance traveled divided by the time taken. Distance is always non - negative (as it measures the length of the path covered), and time is also non - negative. So, speed, which is \(v=\frac{d}{t}\) (where \(d\geq0\) and \(t > 0\)), will always be a positive value.

Answer:

Positive
