A man runs at a speed of `4m//s` to overtake a standing bus. When he is `6m` beind the door at `t=0`, the bus mover forward and continuous with a constant acceleration of `1.2m//s^(2)`. The man reaches the door in time `t`. Then

A

`4t = 6 + 0.6 t^(2)`

B

`1.2 t^(2) = 4t`

C

`4t^(2) = 1.2t`

D

`6 + 4t = 0.2t^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Let us draw the figure for given situation,

`rArr 4t = 6 + (1)/(2) xx 1.2 xx t^(2)`
`rArr 4t = 6 + 0.6 t^(2)`

A student is running at her top speed of 5.0 m s^(-1) , to catch a bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. When the student is still 40.0m from the bus, it starts to pull away, moving with a constant acceleration of 0.2 m s^(-2) . a For how much time and what distance does the student have to run at 5.0 m s^(-1) before she overtakes the bus? b. When she reached the bus, how fast was the bus travelling? c. Sketch an x-t graph for bothe the student and the bus. d. Teh equations uou used in part (a)to find the time have a second solution, corresponding to a later time for which the student and the bus are again at thesame place if they continue their specified motions. Explain the significance of this second solution. How fast is the bus travelling at this point? e. If the student s top speed is 3.5 m s^(-1), will she catch the bus? f. What is the minimum speed the student must have to just catch up with the bus?For what time and what distance dies she have to run in that case?
