A student is standing at a distance of 50metres from the bus. As soon as the bus begins its motion with an acceleration of 1 ms –2 , the student starts running towards the bus with a uniform velocity 
. Assuming the motion to be along a straight road, the minimum value of 
, so that the student is able to catch the bus is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Let student will catch the bus after t sec . So it will cover distance ut .
Similarly distance travelled by the bus will be 
for the given condition
[ 
]
⇒ ⇒ u 
To find the minimum value of u
, so we get 
, then
