The correct Answer is:
To find the average velocity of a body moving with uniform acceleration, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information**: - The body has an initial velocity \( u \) and a final velocity \( v \). - The acceleration is uniform, denoted as \( a \). - The time interval during which this motion occurs is \( t \). 2. **Formula for Average Velocity**: - The average velocity \( v_{\text{avg}} \) can be defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken: \[ v_{\text{avg}} = \frac{s}{t} \] where \( s \) is the distance traveled during the time interval \( t \). 3. **Distance Traveled with Uniform Acceleration**: - The formula for distance \( s \) when an object is moving with uniform acceleration is given by: \[ s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \] 4. **Substituting for Average Velocity**: - Substitute the expression for \( s \) into the average velocity formula: \[ v_{\text{avg}} = \frac{ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2}{t} \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ v_{\text{avg}} = u + \frac{1}{2} a t \] 5. **Relate Final Velocity to Initial Velocity**: - From the equation of motion, we know: \[ v = u + at \] - Rearranging this gives: \[ u = v - at \] 6. **Substituting \( u \) in Average Velocity Formula**: - Now substitute \( u \) in the average velocity formula: \[ v_{\text{avg}} = (v - at) + \frac{1}{2} a t \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ v_{\text{avg}} = v - at + \frac{1}{2} a t = v - \frac{1}{2} a t \] 7. **Final Expression for Average Velocity**: - Thus, the average velocity can be expressed as: \[ v_{\text{avg}} = v - \frac{1}{2} a t \] ### Conclusion: The average velocity \( v_{\text{avg}} \) of the body moving with uniform acceleration over the time interval \( t \) is given by: \[ v_{\text{avg}} = u + \frac{1}{2} a t \] or equivalently, \[ v_{\text{avg}} = v - \frac{1}{2} a t \]
