    In a car race, car A takes a time t less than car B at the finish and passes the finishing point with speed v more than that of the car B. Assuming that both the cars starts from rest and travel with constant accelerations \[{{a}_{1}}\] and \[{{a}_{2}}\] respectively. So, the value of v will be

    A)  \[(\sqrt{{{a}_{1}}/{{a}_{2}}}\,)t\]          

    B)  \[(\sqrt{{{a}_{2}}/{{a}_{1}}})\,t\]

    C)  \[({{a}_{1}}\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}})\,t\]        

    D)  \[(\sqrt{{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}})\,t\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Consider that A takes \[{{t}_{1}}\]second, then according to the given problem, B will take \[({{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}})\] seconds. Further let \[{{v}_{1}}\]be the velocity of B at finishing point, then velocity of A will be\[({{v}_{1}}+v)\]. Writing equations of motion for A and B                 \[{{v}_{1}}+v={{a}_{1}}{{t}_{1}}\] ?. (i)                 \[{{v}_{1}}={{a}_{2}}({{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}})\] ... (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get                 \[v=({{a}_{1}}-{{a}_{2}})\,{{t}_{1}}-{{a}_{2}}t\] ... (iii) Total distance travelled by both the cars is equal                 \[{{s}_{A}}={{s}_{B}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{1}{2}{{a}_{1}}t_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}{{a}_{2}}{{({{t}_{1}}+t)}^{2}}\Rightarrow {{t}_{1}}=\frac{\sqrt{{{a}_{2}}}\,t}{\sqrt{{{a}_{1}}}-\sqrt{{{a}_{2}}}}\] Substituting this value of \[{{t}_{1}}\] in Eq. (iii), we get \[v=(\sqrt{{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}}\,)\,t\]
