A car is standing \(200~\text{m}\) behind a bus, which is also at rest. The two start moving at the same instant but with different forward accelerations. The bus has acceleration \(2~\text{m/s}^2 \) and the car has acceleration \(4~\text{m/s}^2. \) The car will catch up with the bus after a time of:
1. \(\sqrt{120}~\text{s} \)
2. \(15~\text{s}\)
3. \(10\sqrt2~\text{s} \)
4. \(\sqrt{110}~\text{s} \)

A train \(100~\text m\) long is moving with a velocity of \(40~\text{m/s}.\) It overtakes another train \(200~\text m\) long travelling in the same direction at \(30~\text{m/s}.\) How much time will the first train take to pass the second train completely?
1. \(30~\text s\) 
2. \(40~\text s\) 
3. \(50~\text s\) 
4. \(60~\text s\)

Two parallel rail tracks run north-south. Train \(A\) moves north with a speed of \(54\text{ km/h},\) and train \(B\) moves south with a speed of \(90\text{ km/h}.\) The magnitude of the velocity of \(B\) with respect to \(A\) is:

1. \(40\text{ m/s}\)

2. \(0\text{ m/s}\)

3. \(25\text{ m/s}\)

4. \(15\text{ m/s}\)

A bicycle traveling at speed \(v\) covers a distance \(\Delta x\) during a time interval \(\Delta t\). If a car travels at speed \(3v\), how much time does it take the car to go the same distance?
1. \(\Delta t+3\)
2. \(3 \Delta t\)
3. \(\dfrac{\Delta t}{3}\)
4. \(\Delta t - 3\)

Two particles move with constant speeds of \(3~\text{m/s}\) and \(5~\text{m/s}\) along the periphery of a square \(ABCD\) of side \(2~\text{m}\) (as shown). They start from \(A\) at the same time.

They meet for the first time:
1. at \(B\)
2. at \(C\)
3. between \(A\)\(B\)
4. between \(B\)\(C\)
