a man goes from a to b at v1 and returns from b to a at v2 speed . find average speed and average velocity
Dear aspirant,
Given :
speed : A to B : V1
speed : B to A : V2
distance : d ( same in both cases)
Than,
time t1 = d/V1
time t2 = d/V2
And total distance : D = d + d = 2d
total time : t = t1 + t2 = d(V1+V2)/(V1V2)
Therefore,
avg speed = D/t = 2(V1V2)/(V1+V2)
