JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th January Evening Slot - No. 7)
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 '$$\upsilon $$' more than that of car B. Both the cars start from rest and travel with constant acceleration a1 and a2 respectively. Then '$$\upsilon $$' is equal to :
$${{2{a_1}{a_2}} \over {{a_1} + {a_2}}}t$$
$$\sqrt {2{a_1}{a_2}} t$$
$$\sqrt {{a_1}{a_2}} t$$
$${{{a_1} + {a_2}} \over 2}t$$
Explanation
For both car initial speed ($$\mu $$) = 0
Let the acceleration of car A and car B is $$a$$1 and $$a$$2 respectively.
Also let the time taken to reach the finishing point for car A is t1 and for car B is t2.
Let at finishing point speed of car A is $$v$$1 and speed of car B is $$v$$2
According to the question,
t2 $$-$$ t1 = t
and $$v$$1 $$-$$ $$v$$2 = $$v$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$a$$1t1 $$-$$ $$a$$2t2 = $$v$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$a$$1t1 $$-$$ $$a$$2(t + t1) = $$v$$ . . . . . . .(1)
As, Total distance covered by both car is equal.
So, xA = xB
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${1 \over 2}{a_1}t_1^2 = {1 \over 2}{a_2}t_2^2$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$a$$1t$$_1^2$$ = $$a$$2 (t + t1)2
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\sqrt {{a_1}} .{t_1}$$ = $$\sqrt {{a_2}} $$ . (t + t1)
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\sqrt {{a_1}} .{t_1} - \sqrt {{a_2}} .{t_1} = \sqrt {{a_2}} .t$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ t1 = $${{\sqrt {{a_2}} .t} \over {\sqrt {{a_1}} - \sqrt {{a_2}} }}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.....(2)$$
Now put the value of t1 in equation (2),
($$a$$1 $$-$$ $$a$$2) t1 $$-$$ $$a$$2t = $$v$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ (a1 $$-$$ a2) . $${{\sqrt {{a_2}} .t} \over {\sqrt {{a_1}} - \sqrt {{a_2}} }} - {a_2}t = v$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\left( {\sqrt {{a_1}} + \sqrt {{a_2}} } \right)\sqrt {{a_2}} .t - {a_2}t = v$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\sqrt {{a_1}{a_2}} .t + {a_2}.t - {a_2}t = v$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$v$$ = $$\sqrt {{a_1}{a_2}} .t$$
Let the acceleration of car A and car B is $$a$$1 and $$a$$2 respectively.
Also let the time taken to reach the finishing point for car A is t1 and for car B is t2.
Let at finishing point speed of car A is $$v$$1 and speed of car B is $$v$$2
According to the question,
t2 $$-$$ t1 = t
and $$v$$1 $$-$$ $$v$$2 = $$v$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$a$$1t1 $$-$$ $$a$$2t2 = $$v$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$a$$1t1 $$-$$ $$a$$2(t + t1) = $$v$$ . . . . . . .(1)
As, Total distance covered by both car is equal.
So, xA = xB
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${1 \over 2}{a_1}t_1^2 = {1 \over 2}{a_2}t_2^2$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$a$$1t$$_1^2$$ = $$a$$2 (t + t1)2
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\sqrt {{a_1}} .{t_1}$$ = $$\sqrt {{a_2}} $$ . (t + t1)
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\sqrt {{a_1}} .{t_1} - \sqrt {{a_2}} .{t_1} = \sqrt {{a_2}} .t$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ t1 = $${{\sqrt {{a_2}} .t} \over {\sqrt {{a_1}} - \sqrt {{a_2}} }}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.....(2)$$
Now put the value of t1 in equation (2),
($$a$$1 $$-$$ $$a$$2) t1 $$-$$ $$a$$2t = $$v$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ (a1 $$-$$ a2) . $${{\sqrt {{a_2}} .t} \over {\sqrt {{a_1}} - \sqrt {{a_2}} }} - {a_2}t = v$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\left( {\sqrt {{a_1}} + \sqrt {{a_2}} } \right)\sqrt {{a_2}} .t - {a_2}t = v$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\sqrt {{a_1}{a_2}} .t + {a_2}.t - {a_2}t = v$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$v$$ = $$\sqrt {{a_1}{a_2}} .t$$
