A bus starts from rest and moves with constant acceleration `8 m//s^(2)`. At the same time, a car traveling with a constant velocity `16 m//s` overtakes and passes the bus. After how much time and at what distance the bus overtakes the car?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Let the bus overtake the car after time t and at distance `d`. Bus (accelerated motion):
`s=ut+1/2at^(2)`
`d=1/2xx8xxt^(2) …(i)`
Car (uniform motion):
`s=vt`
`d=16t …(ii)`
solving (i) and (ii), we get
`t=4 s, d=64m`
