an object starts with initial velocity and attains final velocity the velocity is changing at a uniform rate.What is the formula for calculating average speed in this accelaration.

Open in App

Solution

If the velocity of an object is changing at a uniform rate then the average velocity is given by the arithmetic mean of the initial velocity,u and final velocity, v for a given period of time i.e (u+v)/2.
