In a car race on straight road, car AA takes a time tt less than car BB at the finish and passes finishing point with a speed vv more than that of car B.B . Both the cars start from rest and travel with constant acceleration a1{a}_{1} and a2{a}_{2} respectively. Then vv is equal to:

Options

  1. A2a1a2a1+a2t\dfrac{2{a}_{1}{a}_{2}}{{a}_{1} + {a}_{2}}t
  2. Ba1+a22t\dfrac{{a}_{1} + {a}_{2}}{2}t
  3. Ca1a2t\sqrt{{a}_{1}{a}_{2}}t
  4. D2a1a2t\sqrt{2{a}_{1}{a}_{2}}t

Correct answer

C. a1a2t\sqrt{{a}_{1}{a}_{2}}t

Step-by-step solution

Given,
Initially both car is at rest, so u1=u2=0{u}_{1} = {u}_{2} = 0
Acceleration of car A and BA \text{ and } B is a1 and a2{a}_{1} \text{ and } {a}_{2}

Let us assume,
Time of reach to destination of car AA is, t1=t0{t}_{1} = {t}_{0}
Time of reach to destination of car BB is, t2=t0+t{t}_{2} = {t}_{0} + t

Using second equation of motion, we have
u1t+12a1t12=u2t+12a2t22{u}_{1}t + \dfrac{1}{2}{a}_{1}{t}_{1}^{2} = {u}_{2}t + \dfrac{1}{2}{a}_{2}{{t}_{2}}^{2}
⇒0×t+12a1t02=0×t+12a2(t0+t)2⇒ 0 \times t + \dfrac{1}{2}{a}_{1}{t}_{0}^{2} = 0 \times t + \dfrac{1}{2}{a}_{2}{\left({t}_{0} + t\right)}^{2}
⇒a1a2t0=t0+t⇒ \sqrt{\dfrac{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}}{t}_{0} = {t}_{0} + t
⇒t0=ta1a2−1⇒ {t}_{0} = \dfrac{t}{\sqrt{\dfrac{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}} - 1}

From first equation of motion, we have
{v1=a1t0 and v2=a2(t0+t)\begin{cases}{v}_{1} = {a}_{1}{t}_{0} \text{ and } & {v}_{2} = {a}_{2}\left({t}_{0} + t\right)\end{cases}
⇒v=v1−v2=(a1−a2)t0−a2t⇒ v = {v}_{1} - {v}_{2} = \left({a}_{1} - {a}_{2}\right){t}_{0} - {a}_{2}t
⇒v=(a1−a2)ta1a2−1−a2t⇒ v = \left({a}_{1} - {a}_{2}\right)\dfrac{t}{\sqrt{\dfrac{{a}_{1}}{{a}_{2}}} - 1} - {a}_{2}t
⇒v=t(a1a2a1−a2−a2a2a1−a2−a2)⇒ v = t\left(\dfrac{{a}_{1}\sqrt{{a}_{2}}}{{\sqrt{a}}_{1} - {\sqrt{a}}_{2}} - \dfrac{{a}_{2}{\sqrt{a}}_{2}}{{\sqrt{a}}_{1} - {\sqrt{a}}_{2}} - {a}_{2}\right)
⇒v=t(a1a2−a2a1a1−a2)⇒ v = t\left(\dfrac{{a}_{1}\sqrt{{a}_{2}} - {a}_{2}{\sqrt{a}}_{1}}{{\sqrt{a}}_{1} - {\sqrt{a}}_{2}}\right)
⇒v=a1.a2t⇒ v = \sqrt{{a}_{1} . {a}_{2}}t
