$A$ car covers $2/5^{th}$ of the total distance with speed $v_1$ and $3/5^{th}$ of the total distance with speed $v_2$. What is its average speed?

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{v_1 v_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2v_1 v_2}{v_1 + v_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{5v_1 v_2}{3v_1 + 2v_2}$

$A$ person travelling on a straight line moves with a uniform velocity $v_1$ for a distance $x$ and with a uniform velocity $v_2$ for the next $\frac{3}{2} x$ distance. The average velocity in this motion is $\frac{50}{7} \ m/s$. If $v_1$ is $5 \ m/s$,then $v_2 = $ . . . . . . $m/s$.

The displacement $(x)$ and time $(t)$ graph of a particle moving along a straight line is shown in the figure. The average velocity of the particle in the time of $10 \ s$ is (in $m \ s^{-1}$)

If a body covers one-third of its total distance at speed $v_1$,the next one-third at speed $v_2$,and the last one-third at speed $v_3$,then the average speed will be:
