Question

A body starts from rest and travels a distance x with uniform acceleration then it travels a distance 2x with uniform speed, finally it travels a distance 3x with uniform retardation and comes to rest.If the complete motion of particle is along a straight line,then the ratio of its average velocity to maximum velocity during its motion is -

a )( 2 / 5 ) b )( 3 / 5 ) c )( 4 / 5 ) d ) (6 / 7 )

Solution

For the first part :x = 1/2*a*t2t1= 2x/av= at1 = a2x/aFor the second part:t2= 2x/a2x/a=2x/a2x/aFor the third part:v2 - u2 = 2a's-u2 = 2a's-4x2/-a22x/a=2a'sa' = -2a/3so,v=u+att=-u/a= a2x/a / -2a/3 =32x/a / 2Average velocity = total distance/total time taken = x+3x+2x/2x/a+2x/a2x/a+32x/a / 2= 6x/7x * a*2x/a Maximum velocity = a2x/aanswer =6/7
