Question
A car travels along a straight line. For first half of time it moves with speed v1 and for the second half of time with speed v2 What is the mean speed v of the car?
Solution
Speed of the car during it's first half = v1
Speed of the car during it's second half journey = v2
Therefore,
Mean speed of the car is given by,
Speed of the car during it's second half journey = v2
Therefore,
Mean speed of the car is given by,
