Questions  

A particle is projected vertically upward with velocity u from a point A, when it returns to the point of projection

a
Its average speed is u/2.
b
Its average velocity is zero.
c
Its displacement is zero.
d
Its average speed is u.

detailed solution

Correct option is A

For vertically projected body, if it returns to the starting point, displacement and average velocity become zero. As acceleration is constant, average speed during upward or downward motion is (u+0)/2=u/2. The same will be the average speed for the whole motion.
