3-2.Motion in Plane
medium
A man moves in $x-y$ plane along the path shown. At what point is his average velocity vector in the same direction as his instantaneous velocity vector. The man starts from point $P$.

A
$A$
B
$B$
C
$C$
D
$D$
Solution
The average velocity will be zero for the region below the line.
Now, The average velocity of the region from point $P$ till the line will be nullified by the vertical component of velocity of region $BCD.$
Thus, the average velocity will only be in the right direction. Thus, direction of average velocity will be same as instantaneous velocity of point $\mathrm{C}$.
