Question

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

Answer 1

(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)`
