JEE Main & Advanced Physics Motion in a Straight Line / सरल रेखा में गति Question Bank Uniform Motion

  • question_answer
    One car moving on a straight road covers one third of the distance with 20 km/hr and the rest with 60 km/hr. The average speed is           [MP PMT 1999; CPMT 2002]

    A)         40 km/hr

    B)                 80 km/hr

    C)         \[46\frac{2}{3}\] km/hr

    D)                36 km/hr

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

              Average speed\[=\frac{\text{Total distance }}{\text{Total time}}\]\[=\frac{x}{{{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}}\]             \[=\frac{x}{\frac{x/3}{{{v}_{1}}}+\frac{2x/3}{{{v}_{2}}}}\]\[=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3\times 20}+\frac{2}{3\times 60}}=36\ km/hr\]
