9th Class Science Time and Motion Question Bank Motion

  • question_answer
    A body goes from A to B with a velocity of 20 m/s and comes back B to A with a velocity of 30 m/s. The average velocity of the body during the whole journey is

    A)  zero                     

    B)         24 m/s  

    C)  25 m/s                

    D)         none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Let the body goes from                                                                                           \[A\]  to                                                                                           \[B\]  in                                                                                     \[{{t}_{1}}\]  sec and comes back from                                                                                           \[B\]  to                                                                                           \[A\]  in                                                                                    \[{{T}_{2}}\] sec. and let the distance between \[A\] and \[B\] be\[s\].                                                                                      \[\therefore\]                                                                           \[{{t}_{1}}=\frac{s}{20}\] and                                                                    \[{{t}_{2}}=\frac{s}{30}\] Total distance travelled                                                                                      \[=s+s=2s\] Total time taken                                                                           \[={{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}\]                                                            \[=\frac{s}{20}+\frac{s}{30}=\frac{5s}{60}\]                                                                                      \[\therefore\] Average velocity                                                                   \[=\frac{2s}{{{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}}\]                                                                   \[=\frac{2s}{5s}\times 60=24\,\,m/s\]
