Solution and Explanation
Substituting n = 20, we obtain
a20 = 20\(\frac{(20-2)}{20+3}\)
= 20\(\frac{(18)}{23}\)
= \(\frac{360}{23}\)

Questions Asked in CBSE Class XI exam
- Explain clearly, with examples, the distinction between :
- magnitude of displacement (sometimes called distance) over an interval of time, and the total length of path covered by a particle over the same interval;
- magnitude of average velocity over an interval of time, and the average speed over the same interval. [Average speed of a particle over an interval of time is defined as the total path length divided by the time interval]. Show in both (a) and (b) that the second quantity is either greater than or equal to the first. When is the equality sign true ? [For simplicity, consider one-dimensional motion only].
