    A car starts from rest, moves with an acceleration a and then decelerates at a constant rate b for sometimes to come to rest. If the total time taken is t. The maximum velocity of car is given by:

    A) \[\frac{abt}{(a+b)}\]

    B)                        \[\frac{{{a}^{2}}t}{a+b}\]                             

    C) \[\frac{at}{(a+b)}\]        

    D)        \[\frac{{{b}^{2}}t}{a+b}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let car accelerates for time \[{{t}_{1}}\] and decelerates for time \[{{t}_{2}}\]then \[{{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}=t\]                ?(1) From              \[v=u+at\] \[v=u+a{{t}_{1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[v=a{{t}_{1}}\] For deceleration \[v=u-at\] \[0=a{{t}_{1}}-b{{t}_{2}}\]                            \[(\because u=v)\] \[a{{t}_{1}}=b{{t}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{t}_{2}}=\frac{a{{t}_{1}}}{b}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{t}_{1}}+\frac{a{{t}_{1}}}{b}=1\]                          [From Eq. (1)] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{t}_{1}}\left( 1+\frac{a}{b} \right)=t\] \[{{t}_{1}}=\frac{bt}{a+b}\] \[\therefore \] Maximum velocity of car \[v=a{{t}_{1}}=\frac{abt}{a+b}\]
