    A body A starts from rest with an acceleration\[{{a}_{1}}\]. After 2 s another body B starts from rest with an acceleration\[{{a}_{2}}\]. If they travel equal distances in 5 s, after the starts of A, the ratio \[{{a}_{1}}:{{a}_{2}}\] will be equal to:

    A)  9 : 5                      

    B)         5 : 7                      

    C)         5 : 9                                      

    D)  7: 9

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: In fifth second, the distance travelled by body A in fifth second is equal to distance travelled by body B in third second from their start.              The distance covered by the body in the nth second of motion is                                 \[{{S}_{n}}=u+\frac{a}{2}(2n-1)\] where u is initial velocity and a is acceleration. Distance covered by the body A in 5th second after its start, with acceleration \[{{a}_{1}}\] is \[({{S}_{5}})=0+\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{2}(2\times 5-1)=\frac{9{{a}_{1}}}{2}\] Time taken by second body \[=5-2=3\text{ }s\] \[{{({{S}_{3}})}_{B}}=0+\frac{{{a}_{2}}}{2}(2\times 3-1)=\frac{5{{a}_{2}}}{2}\] Given,   \[{{({{S}_{5}})}_{A}}={{({{S}_{3}})}_{B}}\] \[\therefore \]   \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{5}{9}\]
