$A$ man walks on a straight road from his home to a market $2.5 \; km$ away with a speed of $5 \; km \; h^{-1}$. Finding the market closed,he instantly turns and walks back home with a speed of $7.5 \; km \; h^{-1}$. What is the average speed of the man over the interval of time $0$ to $40 \; min$?

  • A
    $1.875 \; km \; h^{-1}$
  • B
    $6 \; km \; h^{-1}$
  • C
    $5.625 \; km \; h^{-1}$
  • D
    $2.5 \; km \; h^{-1}$

$A$ car travels from $A$ to $B$ (without changing direction). During the first part of the journey,its average speed is $V_1$,and for the second part of the journey,its average speed is $V_2$. The ratio of the path length of the second part to the path length of the first part is $\sqrt{\frac{V_2}{V_1}}$. In this case,the average speed of the total path is the ....... of the average speeds of both parts. Choose the correct option.

$A$ particle moving along a straight line covers the first half of the distance with a speed of $3 \, m \, s^{-1}$. The other half of the distance is covered in two equal time intervals with speeds of $4.5 \, m \, s^{-1}$ and $7.5 \, m \, s^{-1}$ respectively. The average speed of the particle during the motion is:
