Total distance travelled = ............... x total time taken.

Assertion : On a curved path, average speed of a particle can never be equal to average velocity. Reason : Average speed is total distance travelled divided by total time. Whereas average velocity is, final velocity plus initial velocity divided by two.

An object travels 20 m in 10 s. What is the average speed of the object ?

A car covers first half of total distance at speed of 50 km/h and other half at the rate of 80 km/h. The average speed of car would be

What do you mean by average speed?

A : If speed of a particle is never zero than it may have zero averag speed. R : The average speed of a moving object in a closed path is zero.

Average speed is always equal to magnitude of average velocity. Is this statement true or false ?

If a car covers 2/5th of the total distance with v_1 speed and 3/5th distance with v_2 then average speed is

A body moves speed V_1 for distance L and then with speed V_2 for distance 2L. The average speed for the motion is

Read each statement below carefully and state with reasons, with it is true or false : (a) The magnitude of vector is always a scalar. (b) Each component of a vector is always a scalar. (c) The total path length is always equal to the magnitude of the displacement vector of a particle. (d) The average speed of a particle (defined as total path length divided by the time taken to cover the path) is greater or equal to the magnitude of average velocity of the particle over the same interval of time. (e) three vectors not lying in a plane can never add up to give a null vector.
