$A$ body moves in a straight line with speeds $v_1$ and $v_2$ for distances which are in the ratio $1: 2$. Find the average speed.

  • A
    $3 v_1+v_2$
  • B
    $v_2+2 v_1$
  • C
    $\frac{3 v_1 v_2}{v_2+2 v_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{3 v_1 v_2}{v_2-2 v_1}$

Is the average of different speeds called average speed? Do you agree?

$A$ car covers distance $AB$ with the first one-third at velocity $v_{1} \, ms^{-1}$,the second one-third at $v_{2} \, ms^{-1}$,and the last one-third at $v_{3} \, ms^{-1}$. If $v_{3}=3v_{1}$,$v_{2}=2v_{1}$,and $v_{1}=11 \, ms^{-1}$,then the average velocity of the car is . . . . . . $ms^{-1}$.

If a car travels $40 \%$ of the total distance with a speed $v_1$ and the remaining distance with a speed $v_2$,then the average speed of the car is:

$A$ bus travels the first one-third distance at a speed of $10\; km/h$,the next one-third at $20\; km/h$,and the last one-third at $60\; km/h$. The average speed of the bus is ........ $km/h$.

$A$ body covers the first one-third of the distance with a velocity of $20 \, m/s$,the second one-third with a velocity of $30 \, m/s$,and the last one-third with a velocity of $40 \, m/s$. The average velocity is nearly........$m/s$.
