A bus starts from rest at a bus stop and accelerates uniformly at 1.5 m s−2^{-2}−2. Four seconds later, a cyclist passes the bus stop travelling in the same direction at a constant speed of 12 m s−1^{-1}−1.
Show that the cyclist and the bus are at the same position 8 s after the bus starts.
Compare their velocities at this instant.
