Условие

A train starts from city AA and stops in city BB. The distance between the cities is ss. The train’s maximal acceleration is a1a_1 and its maximal deceleration is a2a_2 (in absolute value). What is the shortest time in which the train can travel between AA and BB?

(A) 2sa1+a22\sqrt{\dfrac{s}{a_1 + a_2}}

(B) 2sa1a22\sqrt{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{a_1 a_2}}}

(C) 2s(a1+a2)a1a2\sqrt{2\dfrac{s(a_1 + a_2)}{a_1 a_2}}

(D) 2sa2a1(a1+a2)\sqrt{\dfrac{2 s a_2}{a_1(a_1 + a_2)}}

(E) sa1a2(a1+a2)2\sqrt{\dfrac{s\sqrt{a_1 a_2}}{(a_1 + a_2)^2}}
