A particle moves from A to B with a uniform velocity `v_1` and from B to A with a velocity `v_2`. If it moves along a straight line between A and B, then the average velocity of the particle is

A

`(v_1 v_2)/(2)`

B

`(v_1 + v_2)/(2)`

C

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

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Displacement = 0, hence average velocity = 0.
