The masses of blocks $A$ and $B$ are $m$ and $M$ respectively. Between $A$ and $B$,there is a constant frictional force $F$ and $B$ can slide on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ is set in motion with velocity $v_0$ while $B$ is at rest. What is the distance moved by $A$ relative to $B$ before they move with the same velocity?

  • A
    $\frac{mMv_0^2}{F(m-M)}$
  • B
    $\frac{mMv_0^2}{2F(m-M)}$
  • C
    $\frac{mMv_0^2}{F(m+M)}$
  • D
    $\frac{mMv_0^2}{2F(m+M)}$
