Just when a motorcycle begins move from rest in a certain direction, a motorcar moving with a uniform velocity in the same direction overtakes it. The difference in their displacements in 18 sec isIn the above problem at what time do they meet again? |
Answer» The distance travelled by car in 15 s= Area of AOAC=(1/2)×15×45 = 337.5 mDistance travelled by scooter in 15 s= Area of rectangle OCEF=15×30 = 450 mThus, DIFFERENCE between distance travelled by them = 450 m - 337.5 m = 112.5 mb. Let after TIME t from start car will CATCH, up the scooter. In time t, the distance travelled by them are equal.Distance travelled by car = (1/2)×15×45 + 45( t - 15)Distance travelled by scooter = 30t(1/2)×15×45 + 45(t - 15) = 30twhich gives t = 22.5 sDistance travelled by car or scooter in 22.5 s = 30 x 22.5= 675 mSo the car catches the scooter when both are at 675 m from the starting POINT. |
