Question

A person travelling on a straight line moves with a uniform velocity v for a distance x and with a uniform velocity 2 for the next equal distance. The average velocity is given by A. B. C. D.

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Let the distance be x for both uniform velocities v₁ and v₂. Since, the velocities are uniform, the acceleration is zero. Let the time taken be t₁ and t₂ corresponding to uniform velocities v₁ and v₂ respectively and thus
