A car travels a distance \(AB\) in three equal segments: the first third at a velocity of \(v_1~\text{m/s},\) the second third at \(v_2~\text{m/s},\) and the final third at \(v_3~\text{m/s}.\) Given that \(v_3 = 3v_1 , ~v_2 = 2v_1\) and \(v_1 = 11~\text{m/s} ,\) the average velocity of the car is:
1. \(12~\text{m/s}\) 2. \(18~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(16~\text{m/s}\) 4. \(11~\text{m/s}\)

A car moving on a straight-line travels in same direction half of the distance with uniform velocity \(v_1\) and other half of the distance with uniform velocity \(v_2.\) The average velocity of the car is equal to:

1. \(\dfrac{2v_1v_2}{v_1+v_2}\)

2. \(\dfrac{v_1+v_2}{2}\)

3. \(v_1+v_2\)

4. \(\sqrt{v_1+v_2}\)

An object travels a distance \(x\) with a constant speed \(v_1,\) and then covers another equal distance \(x \) with a different constant speed \(v_2.\) The average velocity \(v\) for the entire journey is given by:
1. \(v=\left(\dfrac{v_1+v_2}{2}\right) \) 2. \(\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{v_1}+\dfrac{1}{v_2} \)
3. \(v=\left(\dfrac{2 v_1 v_2}{v_1+v_2}\right) \) 4. \(v=\left(\dfrac{v_1-v_2}{2}\right) \)

A particle moving in a straight line covers half the distance with speed \(\begin{equation} 6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{equation}\). The other half is covered in two equal time intervals with speeds \(\begin{equation} 9 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{equation}\) and \(\begin{equation} 15 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{equation}\) respectively. The average speed of the particle during the motion is :
1. \(\begin{equation} 8.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{equation}\)
2. \(\begin{equation} 8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{equation}\)
3. \(\begin{equation} 9.2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{equation}\)
4. \(\begin{equation} 10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{equation}\)
