Question

if velocity of a body is half the maximum velocity. Then what is its distance from the mean position?

Answer 1

Hello mate.

Thanks for asking this question.

Your answer is =>

The velocity when considered as maximum , the distance covered by that body in time t will be given as =>

Distance = Velocity × time = v× t

D = v × t ____________(1)

now, considering the velocity half the maximum velocity ,

new velocity = V / 2

so, the distance covered by that body in the same time period will be =>

distance = new velocity × t

new distance = ( V/2 ) × t______(2)


Dividing equation (2) by (1) ,

new distance / distance = ([V/2]×t) ÷ ( v×t)

new distance => Distance/2

new distance will be half of the old distance.
