  • question_answer
    A student is standing at a distance of 50 metre from the bus. As soon as the bus begins its motion with an acceleration of \[1\text{ }m{{s}^{-2}},\] the student starts running towards the bus with a uniform velocity u. Assuming the motion to be along a straight road, the minimum value of u, so that the student is able to catch the bus is:

    A) \[8m{{s}^{-1}}\]        

    B)  \[5m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    C)  \[12m{{s}^{-1}}\]      

    D)  \[10m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The student is able to catch the bus if in time t the distance travelled by him is equal to the distance travelled by bus in time t ie.          \[{{s}_{1}}={{s}_{2}}\]            ??(1) From eq. (1) \[0+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}=ut-d\] or        \[{{t}^{2}}-2ut+2d=0\] It is quadratic equation So,    \[t=\frac{-2\pm \sqrt{4{{u}^{2}}-8ad}}{2}\] \[=\frac{-2\pm 2\sqrt{{{u}^{2}}-2ad)}}{2}\] For t to be real \[u\ge \sqrt{2ad}\ge \sqrt{2\times \times 50}=10m/s\] \[=10m{{s}^{-1}}\]
