9th Class Science Time and Motion Question Bank Motion

  • question_answer
    A person travels along a straight road for the first I half length with a velocity \[{{u}_{1}}\] and the second half length with a velocity \[{{u}_{2}}\]. Then the mean velocity y is given by

    A)  \[u=\frac{{{u}_{1}}+{{u}_{2}}}{2}\]                         

    B)  \[u=\sqrt{{{u}_{1}}{{u}_{2}}}\]

    C)  \[u=\sqrt{\frac{{{u}_{1}}}{{{u}_{2}}}}\]                

    D)  \[\frac{2}{u}=\frac{1}{{{u}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{u}_{2}}}\]  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Mean velocity,\[v=\frac{Total\,\,displacement}{Total\,\,time}\] \[=\frac{x+x}{\frac{x}{{{v}_{1}}}+\frac{x}{{{v}_{2}}}}=\frac{2{{v}_{1}}{{v}_{2}}}{{{v}_{1}}+{{v}_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{2}{v}=\frac{1}{{{v}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{v}_{2}}}\]
