A particle traversed half of the distance with a velocity of `V_0`. The remaining parts of the distance was covered with velocity `V_1` for half of the time and with `V_2` for other half of the time. Find the mean velocity of the particle averaged and the whole time of motion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Average velocity for the second half distance = `(v_1 t/2 + v_2 t/2)/(t_2+t_2)=(v_1+v_2)/2`
Average velocity for the first half distance = `v_0` ( `because` it is constant)
Average velocity for total path
`=(2v_0(v_1+v_2)/2)/(v_0+(v_1+v_2)/2)=(2v_0(v_1+v_2))/(v_1+v_2+2v_0)`
