Q.
A point moves with uniform acceleration and v1 , v2 and v3 denote the average velocities in the three successive intervals of time t1 , t2 and t3 . Which of the following relation is correct?
Let u be the initial velocity ∴v1=u+at1,v2=u+a(t1+t2)
and v3=u+a(t1+t2+t3)
Now v1=2u+v1=2u+(u+at1)=u+21at1 v2=2v1+v2=u+at1+21at2 v3=2v2+v3=u+at1+at2+21at3
So (v1−v2)=−21a(t1+t2)
and (v2−v3)=−21a(t2+t3) ∴(v1−v2):(v2−v3)=(t1+t2):(t2+t3)
