Under what condition is the average velocity equal to instantaneous velocity?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the condition under which the average velocity is equal to the instantaneous velocity, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Average and Instantaneous Velocity**: - Average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time taken. It represents the overall change in position over a time interval. - Instantaneous velocity, on the other hand, is the velocity of an object at a specific moment in time. It can be visualized as the slope of the tangent to the curve of the position-time graph at that particular point. ...

Knowledge Check

  • Assertion: When a particle moves with constant velocity its average velocity, its insttantaneous velocity and its speed are all equal in magnitude. Reason: If the average velocity of a particle moving on a straight line is zero in a time interval, then it is possible that the instantaneous velocity is never zero in the internal.

    A
    If both assertion `&` Reason are True `&` the Reason is a corrrect explanation of the Asserion.
    B
    If both Assertion `&` Reason are True but Reason is not correct explanation of the Assertion.
    C
    If Assertion is Trie but the Reason is False.
    D
    If both Assertion `&` Reason are false
  • Statement I: The average velocity of the body may be equal to its instantaneous velocity. Statement II: For a given time interval of a given motion, average veocity is single valued while average speed can have many values.

    A
    Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.
    B
    Statemnt I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is false.
