Pablo is running in a half marathon at a velocity of 3 m / s...

Pablo is running in a half marathon at a velocity of $3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} .$ Another runner, Jacob, is 50 meters behind Pablo with the same velocity. Jacob begins to accelerate at 0.05 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} .$ (a) How long does it take Jacob to catch Pablo? $(\mathrm{b})$ What is the distance covered by Jacob? (c) What is the final velocity of Jacob?

Key Concepts

Uniform Motion

Uniform motion occurs when an object travels at a constant speed along a straight path, resulting in a linear relationship between distance and time. This concept underlies scenarios where no acceleration is present, meaning the object's velocity remains unchanged.

Uniformly Accelerated Motion

Uniformly accelerated motion describes the movement of an object when its velocity changes at a constant rate over time. This involves acceleration, which affects both the speed and the displacement, and is modeled by specific kinematic equations.

Relative Motion

Relative motion is the analysis of the movement of one object as observed from another moving object. This involves comparing their velocities and positions to determine interactions such as catching up or overtaking.

Kinematic Equations

Kinematic equations are mathematical formulas that relate displacement, initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and time. They are fundamental tools in solving problems involving either constant velocity or constant acceleration.
