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 m

Distance travelled by scooter in 15 s

= Area of rectangle OCEF

=15×30 = 450 m

Thus, DIFFERENCE between distance travelled by them = 450 m - 337.5 m = 112.5 m

b. 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) = 30t

which gives t = 22.5 s

Distance travelled by car or scooter in 22.5 s = 30 x 22.5

= 675 m

So the car catches the scooter when both are at 675 m from the starting POINT.
