A person wants to catch the bus. Standing on the side of the street, the person sees the bus, 150 meters to the left appraoching at 24.6 m/s. The bus stop is located 50 meters to the right. Already, the bus is slowing-down at 1.45 m/s^2 so the person immediately begins jogging towards the bus stop at a constant 3.12 m/s. (a) Which one gets to the stop first, (b) how long must it wait for the other, and (c) where does the bus pass the person?
