Question
A particle moves for 20 s with velocity 
and then moves with velocity 
for another 20 s and finally moves with velocity 
for next 20 s. What is the average velocity of the particle?
-
-
- Zero
The correct answer is:
Average velocity is that uniform velocity with which the object will cover the same displacement in same interval of time as it does with its actual variable velocity during that time interval.
Here, total distance covered
