The definition of average velocity is.

A

the average acceleration multiplied by the time.

B

distance travelled divided by the time

C

`(1)/(2)` (final velocity + initial velocity)

D

displacemnt divided by the time

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`v_(av) = ("Displacement")/("time")`
`v_(av) = (1)/(2) ("final velocity" + "initial velocity")` is valid only for constant acceleration.

Define : average velocity

The magnitude of average velocity is equal to the average speed when a particle moves:-

Assertion : The instantaneous velocity is given by the limiting value of the average velocity as the time interval approaches zero. Reason : The direction of the average velocity is same as that of displacement.

Which of the following statements is incorrect? (i) Average velocity is path length divided by time interval. (ii) In general, speed is greater than the magnitude of the velocity. (iii) A particle moving in a given direction with a non-zero velocity can have zero speed. (iv) The magnitude of average velocity is the average speed.

What is the significance of average velocity or average speed?

the Si unit for the average velocity is

Assertion: The average velocity of a particle is zero in a time interval. It is possible that the instantaneous acceleration is never zero in the interval. Reason: The magnitude of average velocity in an interval is equal to its average speed in that interval.
