NEET AIPMT SOLVED PAPER MAINS 2011

  • question_answer
    A particle covers half of its total distance with speed \[{{v}_{1}}\], and the rest half distance with speed \[{{v}_{2}}\], Its average speed during the complete journey is                                                                

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

    B) \[\frac{2{{v}_{1}}{{v}_{2}}}{{{v}_{1}}+{{v}_{2}}}\]             

    C) \[\frac{2v_{1}^{2}v_{2}^{2}}{v_{1}^{2}+v_{2}^{2}}\]      

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Velocity \[v=\frac{s}{t}\Rightarrow s=vt\] The average speed of particle \[{{v}_{av}}=\frac{s+s}{\frac{s}{{{v}_{1}}}+\frac{s}{{{v}_{2}}}}\] \[{{v}_{av}}=\frac{2{{v}_{1}}{{v}_{2}}}{{{v}_{1}}+{{v}_{2}}}\]
