Velocity Midway Between Two Points

A car is moving along a straight road with a uniform acceleration. It passes through two points P and Q separated by a distance with velocity 30 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively. The velocity of the car midway between P and Q is :
33.3 km/hr
\(20\sqrt{3} km / hr\)
/(25\sqrt{2} km / hr/)
35 km/hr

Solution:

For uniform acceleration, the velocity midway between two points is given by the formula: \(v_{mid} = \sqrt{\frac{v_1^2 + v_2^2}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{30^2 + 40^2}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{2500}{2}} = 25\sqrt{2}\text{ km/hr}\).
