Question Number 121842 by 676597498 last updated on 12/Nov/20
A man runs at constant speed of  v=7m/s. If he is 50.7m from the end of a train which has a steady acceleration of 0.25m/s^2 .  Will the man meet the train?  if no, what is the min distance between them

(1/2)(0.25)t^2 +50.7=7t  t^2 −56t+405.6=0  ⇒t=((56±(√(56^2 −4×405.6)))/2)
$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{25}\right){t}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{50}.\mathrm{7}=\mathrm{7}{t} \\ $$$${t}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{56}{t}+\mathrm{405}.\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{0}\:\:\Rightarrow{t}=\frac{\mathrm{56}\pm\sqrt{\mathrm{56}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{405}.\mathrm{6}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$

i dont get it sir

they will meet at time ′t′  in t time train will cross S=(1/2)(0.25)t^2  metre  And i will be at S_0 =7t metre  (1/2)(0.25)t^2 +initial distance=7t  (In order to reach)
$${they}\:{will}\:{meet}\:{at}\:{time}\:'{t}' \\ $$$${in}\:{t}\:{time}\:{train}\:{will}\:{cross}\:{S}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{25}\right){t}^{\mathrm{2}} \:{metre} \\ $$$${And}\:{i}\:{will}\:{be}\:{at}\:{S}_{\mathrm{0}} =\mathrm{7}{t}\:{metre} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{25}\right){t}^{\mathrm{2}} +{initial}\:{distance}=\mathrm{7}{t}\:\:\left({In}\:{order}\:{to}\:{reach}\right) \\ $$

thankz i now get  if they didnt meet how can the min  distance be found pls
