If a car travels $40 \%$ of the total distance with a speed $v_1$ and the remaining distance with a speed $v_2$,then the average speed of the car is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{v_1 v_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{v_1+v_2}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 v_1 v_2}{v_1+v_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{5 v_1 v_2}{3 v_1+2 v_2}$

$A$ 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 (in $km/h$) of the man over the interval of time $0$ to $50 \; min$?

$A$ car covers distance $AB$ with the first one-third at velocity $v_{1} \, ms^{-1}$,the second one-third at $v_{2} \, ms^{-1}$,and the last one-third at $v_{3} \, ms^{-1}$. If $v_{3}=3v_{1}$,$v_{2}=2v_{1}$,and $v_{1}=11 \, ms^{-1}$,then the average velocity of the car is . . . . . . $ms^{-1}$.

The velocity of an object moving in a straight line path is given as a function of time by $v = 6t - 3t^2$,where $v$ is in $m/s$ and $t$ is in $s$. The average velocity of the object between $t = 0$ and $t = 2 \ s$ is

$A$ motorcyclist travels a certain distance with a uniform speed of $30\, m/s$ and immediately turns back and returns to the starting point with a uniform speed of $20\, m/s$. Then the average speed of the motorcycle is ..........$m/s$ :-

"The magnitude of average velocity is equal to average speed". This statement is not always correct and not always incorrect. Explain with an example.
