In a relay race, runner a is carrying the baton and has a speed of 2.60 m/s. when he is 25.0 m behind the starting line, runner b starts from rest and accelerates at 0.0600 m/s 2. how long afterwards will a catch up with b to pass the baton to b

A will take 11.02 seconds or 75.65 seconds to catch up with B.

Explanation

Runner A is carrying the baton and has a speed of 2.60 m/s . So,

When A is 25.0 m behind the starting line, runner B starts from rest and accelerates at 0.0600 m/s².  So, and

Suppose, A will catch up with B to pass the baton to B after seconds.

Formula need to use here :

When A will catch up with B , then

So, the equation will be .......

Using quadratic formula, we will get.....

So, A will take 11.02 seconds or 75.65 seconds to catch up with B.

what is the answer?
