8 A bus is travelling along a straight road at \(5.4 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\). At \(t = 0\), as the bus passes a boy standing on the pavement, the boy starts running in the same direction as the bus, accelerating at \(1.2 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\) from rest for 5 s . He then runs at constant speed until he catches up with the bus.
  1. The diagram in the Printed Answer Booklet shows the velocity-time graph for the bus. Draw the velocity-time graph for the boy on this diagram.
  2. Determine the time at which the boy is running at the same speed as the bus.
  3. Find the maximum distance between the bus and the boy.
  4. Find the distance the boy has run when he catches up with the bus.
