- Bob is cruising leisurely on his bike at 2.4 m/s when Jim passes him, traveling at a constant 10.2 m/s. Bob immediately begins accelerating at 2.2 m/s2 until he reaches his maximum velocity of 13.5 m/s. He continues cruising at that speed until he catches Jim. How long did it take him to catch up to Jim? (Assume the clock started at the instant he began to accelerate.) t = How far did he have to go to catch up to Jim?
