In a car race on straight road, car A takes a time t less than car B at the finish and passes finishing point with a speed v more than that of car B. Both the cars start from rest and travel with constant acceleration a1 and a2 respectively. Then v is equal to:
Options
Aa1+a22a1a2t
B2a1+a2t
Ca1a2t
D2a1a2t
Correct answer
C. a1a2t
Step-by-step solution
Given, Initially both car is at rest, so u1=u2=0 Acceleration of car A and B is a1 and a2
Let us assume, Time of reach to destination of car A is, t1=t0 Time of reach to destination of car B is, t2=t0+t
Using second equation of motion, we have u1t+21a1t12=u2t+21a2t22 ⇒0×t+21a1t02=0×t+21a2(t0+t)2 ⇒a2a1t0=t0+t ⇒t0=a2a1−1t
From first equation of motion, we have {v1=a1t0 and v2=a2(t0+t) ⇒v=v1−v2=(a1−a2)t0−a2t ⇒v=(a1−a2)a2a1−1t−a2t ⇒v=t(a1−a2a1a2−a1−a2a2a2−a2) ⇒v=t(a1−a2a1a2−a2a1) ⇒v=a1.a2t
