The numerical ratio of average velocity to average speed is

A

Unity

B

Unity or less

C

Unity or more

D

Less than unity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Here`(v_(av))/(("speed")_av)=("displacement")/("distance")`
Now displacement is always the shortest distance
`:.("displacement")/("distance")le 1`
Hence `v_(av)le("speed")_(av)`
`:. (v_(av))/(("speed")_(av))le1`

Define average velocity.

A particle starts from rest and travels a distance 's' with uniform acceleration, then it travels a distance '2s' with uniform speed and finally it travels a distance '38' with uniform retardation and comes to rest. If whole motion is in a straight line, the ratio of maximum velocity to average velocity is

A cyclist starts from the centre 'O' of a cicular park of radius 1 km, reaches the edge of the park, then cycles along the circumference up to the point Q and returns to the centre along QO as shown in the figure. If the round trip takes 10 min, what is the (a) Net displacement (b) average velocity and (c) average speed of the cyclist.

The ratio of average speed and most probable speed is :

A car is moving along a straight line, say OP in Fig. It moves from O to P in 18 s and returns from P to Q in 6.0 s. What are the average velocity and average speed of the car in going (a) from O to P ? and (b) from O to P and back to Q ?
