Average velocity
Q.

How to calculate 'Average velocity' in the different scenarios ?

Ans:

If a body has covered a distance at speed 'v1' (half of the distance) and then with a speed 'v2'(the other half of the distance), then

for 'n' equal parts of distances

If an object travels with velocity v1 for the first half of time, and with velocity v2 for the second half of time then

If an object travels with velocities v1, v2, v3 etc., during time intervals t1, t2, t3 etc.,

then vave =

if t1 = t2 = t3 = ..... t
then vave =

If a body has an initial displacement position x1 at time t1 undergoes motion attains final displacement x2 at time t2, then

If x1, x2 .... xn are the displacement made by the body for time t1,t2, . . . . tn, then
