$A$ man is at a distance $d$ behind a bus. The bus starts from rest and moves away from the man with a constant acceleration $a$. At the same time,the man starts running towards the bus with a constant velocity $v$. Which of the following statements are correct?

  • A
    The man catches the bus if $v \geq \sqrt{2ad}$.
  • B
    If the man just catches the bus,the time taken will be $t = \frac{v}{a}$.
  • C
    Both $(a)$ and $(b)$ are correct.
  • D
    The man will catch the bus if $v \geq \sqrt{ad}$.

Two skaters $P$ and $Q$ are skating towards each other. Skater $P$ throws a ball towards $Q$ every $5 \,s$ such that it always leaves her hand with speed $2 \,ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. Consider two cases:
$(I)$ $P$ runs with speed $1 \,ms^{-1}$ towards $Q$,while $Q$ remains stationary.
$(II)$ $Q$ runs with speed $1 \,ms^{-1}$ towards $P$,while $P$ remains stationary.
Note that irrespective of the speed of $P$,the ball always leaves $P$'s hand with speed $2 \,ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. Ignore gravity. At what intervals will the balls be received by $Q$?
