    A car travelling on a straight track moves with uniform velocity of\[{{\upsilon }_{1}}\]for some time and with uniform velocity\[{{\upsilon }_{2}}\]for the next equal time the average velocity on the car is

    A) \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}{{v}_{2}}}{2}\]                                  

    B) \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}{{v}_{2}}}{4}\]

    C) \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}+{{v}_{2}}}{2}\]

    D)        \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}-{{v}_{2}}}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Average velocity is equal to ratio of total displacement to total time. Velocity is a vector quantity and average velocity is defined as the total displacement undergone by the body per unit time Displacement in first instance\[={{v}_{1}}t\] Displacement in second instance\[={{v}_{2}}t\] \[\therefore \]Average velocity\[=\frac{{{v}_{1}}t+{{v}_{2}}t}{t+t}=\frac{{{v}_{1}}+{{v}_{2}}}{2}\]
