Problem

A car is standing 200 m200 \text{ m} behind a bus, which is also at rest. The two start moving at the same instant but with different forward accelerations. The bus has acceleration 2 m/s22 \text{ m/s}^2 and the car has acceleration 4 m/s24 \text{ m/s}^2. After how much time will the car catch up with the bus? (1) 110 s\sqrt{110} \text{ s} (2) 120 s\sqrt{120} \text{ s} (3) 102 s10\sqrt{2} \text{ s} (4) 15 s15 \text{ s}
