SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around a physics problem from "Meteor Garden," where San Chai attempts to catch Dao Ming Xi, who is on a bus moving at a constant velocity of 1.5 m/s. San Chai starts 15 meters away and accelerates at 0.40 m/s². To solve the problem, participants emphasize the need to apply the four kinematic equations to establish the relationship between the distance traveled by both San Chai and the bus. The key takeaway is that using the correct equations will allow for the calculation of the time it takes for San Chai to catch up to the bus.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of uniform accelerated motion
  • Familiarity with kinematic equations
  • Basic knowledge of velocity and acceleration concepts
  • Ability to set up equations based on physical scenarios
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the four kinematic equations and their applications
  • Practice problems involving uniform acceleration and relative motion
  • Learn how to derive equations for objects in motion
  • Explore real-world applications of kinematic equations in physics
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, particularly those struggling with concepts of motion and acceleration, as well as educators looking for examples of real-world applications of kinematic equations.

Meteor Garden Problem :(

Homework Statement


Hi Guys.. I am really having a trouble in physics.. :( I really can' t solve uniform accelerated motion problems correctly. Can someone help me? please.. Our teacher gave this Meteor Problem. Help Please.

An unforgettable scene from “Meteor Garden”
San Chai was holding a bag of lemons when she saw Dao Ming Xi in a bus moving at a constant velocity of 1.5 m/s. She stood still mixed in an array of emotions. Then, as the bus was about 15 m away, she ran to catch up, accelerating at a rate of 0.40m/s2. If she continued to running and did not trip over, how long would it have took her to catch up?

Forum rules state that you have to provide an attempt at a solution or at the very least try to describe exactly where the problem lies and why you can't continue from there. You haven't even put the effort into listing the equations.

You will need two equations one for the bus and one for San Chai. Which two equations do you think you will need and why? Write them out in formula form and explain the variables to me.

Answering with 'idk' is not allowed!
