Solution

The correct option is B
30 m/s

Average speed = (Total Distance) / Total time

= 750 m / 25 s

=30 m/s

Q. A particle moving in a straight line covers half the distance with a speed of 3 m/s. The other half of the distance is covered in two equal time intervals with speed of 4.5 m/s and 7.5 m/s respectively. The average speed of the particle during this motion is

Q. If the speed of a car is given as

Q. Average speed is the ratio of total distance covered to the total time taken to cover that distance.

Explain clearly, with examples, the distinction between:
a) magnitude of displacement (sometimes called distance) over an interval of time, and the total length of path covered by a particle over the same interval;
b) magnitude of average velocity over an interval of time, and the average speed over the same interval. [Average speed of a particle over an interval of time is defined as the total path length divided by the time interval]. Show in both (a) and (b) that the second quantity is either greater than or equal to the first.
When is the equality sign true? [For simplicity, consider one-dimensional motion only].

The correct option is B 30 m/sAverage speed = (Total Distance) / Total time = 750 m / 25 s =30 m/s

The correct option is B
30 m/s

Average speed = (Total Distance) / Total time

= 750 m / 25 s

=30 m/s
