Given :-
- A body travelled with speeds v₁ , v₂ and v₃ for equal intervals of time
To Find :-
- The average speed of the body
Solution :-
- Let the time interval be "t"
Since ,
Distance covered with speed v₁ in time t is v₁t
- Distance covered with speed v₂ in time t is v₂t
- Distance covered with speed v₁ in time t is v₃t
Total Time taken in these three intervals is t + t + t = 3t [given condition]
Now , Average speed of a body is nothing but the ratio between total distance travelled and total time taken.If the Mathematically ,
Now , Calculating Average speed of given body ;
Taking t common in numerator ,
- Cancelling t on both numerator and denominator ,
Case 1: When a Body covers distance lets say ‘D’ with speed ‘v1’ time taken can calculated by the following formula.
t1 = D/v1 , ……(1)
Case 2: When a Body covers distance lets say ‘D’ with speed ‘v2’ time taken can calculated by the following formula.
t2 = D/v2 , ……(2)
Case 3: When a Body covers distance lets say ‘D’ with speed ‘v3’ time taken can calculated by the following formula.
t3 = D/v3 , ……(3)
Adding up all the three statements we can get the total time taken by the body which comes out to be
t1 + t2 + t3 ;
or D/v1 + D/v2 + D/v3 ……..(4)
And the total distance covered by the body can be easily calculated as 3D.
So Applying the formula of Average velocity or speed,
Average velocity = Total distance covered/ Total Time Taken the body
Average velocity = 3D / (D/v1 + D/v2 + D/v3)
Solving out the equation results comes out to be:
