A particle starts from rest and traverses a distance with uniform acceleration, then moves uniformly over a further distance and finally comes to rest after moving a further distance under uniform retardation. Assuming entire motion to be rectilinear motion, the ratio of average speed over the journey to the maximum speed on its way is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Let , and be the time taken by the particles to cover the distance , and respectively. Let be the velocity of the particle at i.e, maximum velocity. The particle moves with uniform acceleration from to .
For motion from to .
Average velocity
Time taken,
Particle moves with uniform retardation from TO ,
Time taken ,
Total time =
Average Velocity over=
