A point moves with uniform acceleration and V_1, V_2 and V_3 denote the average velocities in the three successive intervals of time t_1, t_2 and t_3 . Which of the following relations is correct
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Let u_1, u_2, u_3 and U_4 be velocities at time t = 0, t_1, (t_1 + t_2) and \(\left(t_{1} + t_{2} + t_{3}\right)\) respectively and acceleration is a then \(\mathbf{v}_1 = \frac{\mathbf{u}_1 + \mathbf{u}_2}{2}, \mathbf{v}_2 = \frac{\mathbf{u}_2 + \mathbf{u}_3}{2} \text{ and } \mathbf{v}_3 = \frac{\mathbf{u}_3 + \mathbf{u}_4}{2}\)
Also \(\mathbf{u}_2 = \mathbf{u}_1 + a t_1, \mathbf{u}_3 = \mathbf{u}_1 + a (t_1 + t_2)\)
and u_{4} = u_{1} + a(t_{1} + t_{2} + t_{3})
By solving, we get \(\frac{V_1 - V_2}{V_2 - V_3} = \frac{t_1 + t_2}{t_2 + t_3}\)
