A car completes the first half of its journey with a velocity `upsilon_(1)` and the rest half with a velocity `upsilon_(2)`. Then the average velocity of the car for the whole journey is :

A

`v=sqrt(v_1 v_2)`

B

`v=sqrt((v_2)/(v_1))`

C

`(2)/(v)=(1)/(v_1)+(1)/(v_2)`

D

`v=(v_1 +v_2)/(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

`V_(av)=("total distance")/("total time")=(V_(1)xxt/2+V_2xxt/2)/(t)=(V_(1)+V_2)/(2)`
