An object moves with speeds $v_1, v_2$,and $v_3$ along line segments $AB, BC$,and $CD$ respectively,as shown in the figure. If $AB = BC$ and $AD = 3 AB$,then the average speed of the object will be:

  • A
    $\frac{(v_1+v_2+v_3)}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{v_1 v_2 v_3}{3(v_1 v_2+v_2 v_3+v_3 v_1)}$
  • C
    $\frac{3 v_1 v_2 v_3}{v_1 v_2+v_2 v_3+v_3 v_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{(v_1+v_2+v_3)}{3 v_1 v_2 v_3}$

Is the statement "$A$ particle can have zero speed but non-zero velocity" true or false? Explain.

Five particles have speeds $1, 2, 3, 4, 5 \, m/s$. The average velocity of the particles is (in $m/s$):

In $1.0 \, s$,a particle moves from point $A$ to point $B$ along a semicircle of radius $1.0 \, m$ (see figure). The magnitude of the average velocity is ......... $m/s$.

The ratio of the numerical values of the average velocity and average speed of a body is always

$A$ body has speed $V, 2V$ and $3V$ in the first $1/3$ of distance $S$,second $1/3$ of $S$,and third $1/3$ of $S$ respectively. Its average speed will be:
