A truck crosses a stationary motorcycle ...

A truck crosses a stationary motorcycle at a speed of 54 km/h. At the same instant, the motor cyclist follows the truck by accelerating his motorcycle at the rate of 1 ms. The motor cyclist catches the truck after a time interval of:

A

45 s

B

40 s

C

30 s

D

60 s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

`s_2` for truck `=54xx(5)/(18)xxt`
`s_2` for motor cyclist =`0+1//2 xx1xxt^(2)`
But `s_1=s_2`
`54xx(5)/(18)xxt=(t^(2))/(2)` or t=30s
