If a body travels some distance in a given time interval, then for that time interval, its:
1. | Average speed ≥ |Average velocity| |
2. | |Average velocity| ≥ Average speed |
3. | Average speed < |Average velocity| |
4. | |Average velocity| must be equal to average speed. |
A car moves from \(X\) to \(Y\) with a uniform speed \(v_u\) and returns to \(X\) with a uniform speed \(v_d.\) The average speed for this round trip is:
1. | \(\dfrac{2 v_{d} v_{u}}{v_{d} + v_{u}}\) | 2. | \(\sqrt{v_{u} v_{d}}\) |
3. | \(\dfrac{v_{d} v_{u}}{v_{d} + v_{u}}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{v_{u} + v_{d}}{2}\) |
The figure gives the \((x\text-t)\) plot of a particle in a one-dimensional motion. Three different equal intervals of time are shown. The signs of average velocity for each of the intervals \(1,\) \(2\) & \(3,\) respectively are:
1. | \(-,-,+\) | 2. | \(+,-,+\) |
3. | \(-,+,+\) | 4. | \(+,+,-\) |
The coordinate of an object is given as a function of time by \(x = 7 t - 3 t^{2}\), where \(x\) is in metres and \(t\) is in seconds. Its average velocity over the interval \(t=0\) to \(t=4\) is will be:
1. \(5\) m/s
2. \(-5\) m/s
3. \(11\) m/s
4. \(-11\) m/s
A particle moving in a straight line covers half the distance with a speed of \(3~\text{m/s}\). The other half of the distance is covered in two equal time intervals with speeds of \(4.5~\text{m/s}\) and \(7.5~\text{m/s}\) respectively. The average speed of the particle during this motion is:
1. | \(4.0~\text{m/s}\) | 2. | \(5.0~\text{m/s}\) |
3. | \(5.5~\text{m/s}\) | 4. | \(4.8~\text{m/s}\) |
