    A man is 45 m behind the bus when the bus start accelerating from rest with acceleration 2.5 m/s2. With what minimum velocity should the man start running to catch the bus?                               [J&K CET 2005]

    A)                         12 m/s            

    B)                         14 m/s            

    C)                         15 m/s            

    D)                         16 m/s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                                Let man will catch the bus after 't' sec . So he will cover distance ut. Similarly distance travelled by the bus will be \[\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}\]. For the given condition \[u\ t=45+\frac{1}{2}a\ {{t}^{2}}\]\[=45+1.25\ {{t}^{2}}\]        \[[As\ a=2.5m/{{s}^{2}}]\] Þ \[u=\frac{45}{t}+1.25\ t\] To find the minimum value of u \[\frac{du}{dt}=0\] so we get \[t=6\sec \]then, \[u=\frac{45}{6}+1.25\times 6=7.5+7.5=15m/s\]
