MCQ
A car moves from $X$ to $Y$ with a uniform speed $v_1$ and returns to $Y$ with a uniform speed $v_2$ . The average speed for this round trip is
  • A
    $\bar v = \frac{{{v_1} + {v_2}}}{2}$
  • B
    $\bar v =\sqrt {{v_1}{v_2}} $
  • $\frac{{2}}{{\bar v}} =\frac{1}{{{v_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{v_2}}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{1}}{{\bar v}} =\frac{1}{{{v_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{v_2}}}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{{2}}{{\bar v}} =\frac{1}{{{v_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{v_2}}}$
c
Average speed $=\frac{\text { Total distance }}{\text { Total time }}$

$\bar v=\frac{2 d}{\frac{d}{v_{1}}+\frac{d}{v_{2}}}$

$\frac{2}{\bar v}=\frac{1}{v_{1}}+\frac{1}{v_{2}}$
