If a body travels half the distance with speed v1 and remaining half with speed v2, average speed is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

If a body travels half the distance with speed v1 and remaining half with speed v2, average speed is
A. √(v1v2)
B. (v1+v2)/2
C. (v1+v2)/v1v2
D. 2v1v2/(v1+v2)
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Average speed = total distance / total time = d / ( (d/2)/v1 + (d/2)/v2 ) = 2v1v2/(v1+v2).

Question #1
In uniform circular motion, which of the following is constant?
A. Linear momentum
B. Centripetal acceleration
C. Velocity
D. Kinetic energy

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed constant, so kinetic energy (½mv²) constant. Velocity, acceleration, momentum change direction.

Question #2
Rainbow formation is a complex phenomenon primarily involving which set of optical processes?
A. Diffraction, Interference, and Polarization
B. Reflection, Scattering, and Dispersion
C. Refraction, Dispersion, and Total Internal Reflection
D. Reflection, Diffraction, and Scattering

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
A rainbow is formed by sunlight interacting with water droplets. As light enters the droplet, it undergoes refraction and dispersion (separating into colors). The light then strikes the back of the droplet and undergoes total internal reflection. Finally, it undergoes a second refraction as it exits, spreading the spectrum out for the observer to see.
