Solution

The correct option is B B
At B the slope ( steepness) is maximum hence the acceleration is max as the slope of curve in speed-time graph tells the acceleration of body.

Q. A student is running at her top speed of 5.0 m/s to catch a bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. When the student is still 40.0 m from the bus, it starts to pull away moving with a constant acceleration of 0.2

a.For how much time and what distance does the student? have to run at 5.0 m/s before she overtakes the bus?
b.When she reached the bus, how fast was the bus travelling?
c.Sketch an x-t graph for both the student and the bus.
d.The equations you used in part (a) to find the time have a second solution, corresponding to a later time for which the student and the bus are again at the same place if they continue their specified motions. Explain the significance of this second solution. How fast is the bus travelling at this point?
e. If the student's top speed is 3.5 m/s, will she catch the bus?
f. What is the minimum speed the student must catch up with the bus? For what does she have to run in that case?

Q. From the graph, the number of bus stops (y) is independent of the number of buses (x).

From the given graph, we find that the number of bus stops is the number of buses
