Physics Question on speed and velocity

A person travels x distance with velocity v1 and then x distance with velocity v2 in the same direction. The average velocity of the person is v, then the relation between v, v1 and v2 will be

A

v=v1+v22v=\frac{v_1+v_2}{2}

B

V=V1+V2

C

1v=1v1+1v2\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{v_1}+\frac{1}{v_2}<

D

2v=1v1+1v2\frac{2}{v}=\frac{1}{v_1}+\frac{1}{v_2}

Answer

2v=1v1+1v2\frac{2}{v}=\frac{1}{v_1}+\frac{1}{v_2}

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is(D ): 2v=1v1+1v2\frac{2}{v}=\frac{1}{v_1}+\frac{1}{v_2}
