JEE Main & Advanced Physics Motion in a Straight Line / सरल रेखा में गति Question Bank Non-uniform Motion

  • question_answer
    A student is standing at a distance of 50metres from the bus. As soon as the bus begins its motion with an acceleration of 1ms?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             [KCET 2003]

    A)             5 ms?1 

    B)             8 ms?1

    C)             10 ms?1           

    D)             12 ms?1

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Let student will catch the bus after t sec. So it will cover distance ut. Similarly distance travelled by the bus will be \[\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\] for the given condition \[ut=50+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}=50+\frac{{{t}^{2}}}{2}\]    [\[a=1\ m/{{s}^{2}}\]]         Þ u \[=\frac{50}{t}+\frac{t}{2}\] To find the minimum value of u \[\frac{du}{dt}=0\], so we get \[t=10\sec \], then \[u=10\ m/s\]
