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 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$\frac{ mMv _0^2}{ 2F ( m + M )}$
