You can only compare sizes of magnitude; but velocity is direction and magnitude. If the question was about minimum speed, then this logic would obviously hold; but minimum velocity is less obvious, because it's not even clear what is meant by it. I don't think the question of "maximum and minimum velocity" is well defined unless you clarify a specific direction, or specify that you're comparing only magnitudes. | |
