A bus starts form rest with an acceleration of `5 m s^(-2)` A man who is on a motorcyle, 24 m behind the bust, overtakes, the bus in 2s. If the motorcyclist moves with uniform velocity, find his velocity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) What is the initial velocity and acceleration of the bus ?
Find the distance travelled by the bus in 2s, by using the formula, `s=ut+(1)/(2)at^(2)" "(1)`
Is the distacne travelled by the motocrycle equal to `(s+24)m? " "(2)`
Find the time taken by motorycle to overtake the bus.
Find the velocity of the of the motorcycle from the formula, distance/time
(ii) Uniform velocity of the motorcyclist `=17 m s^(-1)`
