  1. 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/h and 40 km/h respectively. The velocity of the car midway between P and Q is
    1. 33.3 km/h
    2. km/ h
    3. km/h
    4. 35 km/h
Correct Option: C

Let PQ = x , then

a =
40² - 30²
=
350
2xx

[ ∵  v² = u² + 2as]
Also, velocity at mid point is given by
v² - 30² = 2 ×
350
×
x
x2

This gives v = 25√2 km/h
