A police jeep is chasing a culprit going on a motorbike. The motorbike crosses the turning at a speed of 72km/h.The jeep follows it at a speed of 90 km/h,crossing the turning ten secs later than the bike.

Expert Answer
Their displacements will be the same from the turn.
But the jeep starts 10 sec later i.e. 10/3600 hrs later.
Smb = umbt = 72t
Sjeep = ujeep (t - 10/3600) = 90(t - 10/3600) ... since the time taken by jeep will be 10 sec less.
Smb = Sjeep
72t = 90(t - 10/3600)
t = 1/72 hrs.
Hence the distance = 72x1/72 = 1 km .
So from 1 km from the turn jeek will catch the bike.
