Q3 / 46 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Motion In One Dimension

A particle goes from A to B with a speed of 40 km/h and B to C with a speed of 60 km/h . If AB=6 BC , the average speed in km/h between A and C is

Correct answer: 42

Solution

V av = distance travelled time taken

⇒ V av = AB + BC AB 4 0 + BC 6 0

⇒ V av = 6BC + BC 6BC 4 0 + BC 6 0

V av = 7 × 2 4 0 3 6 + 4 ⇒ V av = 7 × 2 4 0 4 0

⇒ V av = 4 2 km/h

Hence, the correct answer is 42.
