If a car is moving from point A to point B with first half of the dist...
Solution:
Given:
Speed of first half = 10 m/s
Speed of second half = 15 m/s
To find:
Ratio of average speed to the average velocity of the car
Formula:
Average speed = Total distance/Total time
Average velocity = Total displacement/Total time
Approach:
Let us assume that the total distance from A to B is 2d.
Then,
Distance covered in the first half of the journey, d = (1/2) * 2d = d
Distance covered in the second half of the journey, d = (1/2) * 2d = d
Total distance covered, 2d = d + d = 2d
Time taken to cover the first half, t1 = d/10
Time taken to cover the second half, t2 = d/15
Total time taken, t = t1 + t2
= d/10 + d/15
= (3d + 2d)/30
= 5d/30
= d/6
Total displacement, Δx = 2d
Average speed,
vavg = Total distance/Total time
= 2d/(d/6)
= 12 m/s
Average velocity,
v¯= Total displacement/Total time
= (2d)/(d/6)
= 12 m/s
Therefore, the ratio of average speed to the average velocity of the car is 1:1.
Hence, the correct option is (A) 0.

When this type of qs mentioned using this formula av. speed (velocity)= 2V1V2/V1+V2. av. velocity=2×10×15/10+15 , after solving it average velocity is 12m/sec
