Problem

a. (i) A bus passes a point O with velocity

10\,\text{m s}^{-1}

and uniform acceleration

1\,\text{m s}^{-2}

. Two seconds later, a car passes the same point O in the same direction with velocity

20\,\text{m s}^{-1}

and uniform acceleration

0.5\,\text{m s}^{-2}

. Find the time, measured from the instant the car passes O, after which the car overtakes the bus. b. (ii) How far from point O does the overtaking occur?
