A person travelling in a straight line moves with a constant velocity \(v_1\) for a certain distance \(x\) and with a constant velocity \(v_2\) for the next equal distance. The average velocity \(v\) is given by the relation:
1. \(\dfrac{1}{v} = \dfrac{1}{v_1}+\dfrac{1}{v_2}\) 2. \(\dfrac{2}{v} = \dfrac{1}{v_1}+\dfrac{1}{v_2}\)
3. \(\dfrac{v}{2} = \dfrac{v_1+v_2}{2}\) 4. \(v = \sqrt{v_1v_2}\)

A particle is moving such that its position coordinates (x, y) are (\(2\) m, \(3\) m) at time \(t=0,\) (\(6\) m,\(7\) m) at time \(t=2\) s, and (\(13\) m, \(14\) m) at time \(t=\) \(5\) s. The average velocity vector \(\vec{v}_{avg}\) from \(t=\) 0 to \(t=\) \(5\) s is:

A body is falling freely in a resistive medium. The motion of the body is described by \(\dfrac{dv}{dt}=(4-2v), \) where \(v\) is the velocity of the body at any instant (in \(\text{ms}^{–1}\)). The terminal velocity in this case refers to the velocity the body approaches as time \(t \to \infty.\) The initial acceleration and terminal velocity of the body, respectively, are:

1. \(4~\text{m/s}^2,\) \(2~\text{m/s}\) 2. \(2~\text{m/s}^2,\) \(4~\text{m/s}\)
