A student is standing at a distance of \(50\) metres 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 \(u\). 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:
1. \(5\) ms–1
2. \(8\) ms–1
3. \(10\) ms–1
4. \(12\) ms–1

A car, starting from rest, accelerates at the rate f through a distance S, then continues at a constant speed for time t and then decelerates at the rate f2 to come to rest. If the total distance traversed is 15 S, then, 

1. S=12ft2

2. S=14ft2

3. S=172ft2

The distance between two particles is decreasing at the rate of \(6\) m/sec when they are moving in the opposite directions. If these particles travel with the same initial speeds and in the same direction, then the separation increases at the rate of \(4\) m/sec. It can be concluded that particles' speeds could be:
1. \(5\) m/sec, \(1\) m/sec
2. \(4\) m/sec, \(1\) m/sec
3. \(4\) m/sec, \(2\) m/sec
4. \(5\) m/sec, \(2\) m/sec
