Two cars start from a point at the same time in a straight line and their positions are represented by $x_1(t) = at + bt^2$ and $x_2(t) = Ft - t^2$. At what time do the cars have the same velocity?

  • A
    $\frac{a+F}{2(b-1)}$
  • B
    $\frac{a-F}{1+b}$
  • C
    $\frac{a+F}{2(1+b)}$
  • D
    $\frac{F-a}{2(1+b)}$

$A$ car travels from $A$ to $B$ (without changing direction). During the first part of the journey,its average speed is $V_1$,and for the second part of the journey,its average speed is $V_2$. The ratio of the path length of the second part to the path length of the first part is $\sqrt{\frac{V_2}{V_1}}$. In this case,the average speed of the total path is the ....... of the average speeds of both parts. Choose the correct option.
