Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Speed is a scalar quantity, which means it has a simple magnitude and no direction. As a result, when the direction of a given quantity is left unmentioned, there is no chance that it will be negative. The second justification is supported by its formula. The speed calculation formula is the total distance travelled divided by the total time required. The distance cannot be negative because it is a scalar quantity, as everyone knows. Additionally, time can never be negative or zero. However, it is not always limited to one. How fast something is travelling is determined by the ratio of two non-negative quantities. As a result, a body's speed is always positive.
The correct statement would be that the speed of a person can not be negative.
