Download Solution PDFCalculation:
A girl is running at a constant speed along a straight path to catch the bus, so graph of girl's motion will be a straight line, linearly increasing.
Before she reaches the bus, it accelerates with constant acceleration away from her so graph of bus motion will be parabolically increasing.
The only graph which satisfies this motion is depicted in Graph 2
∴ Correct representation of motion of bus and girl will be Option 2.
