Two riders, Lester and Micko, are travelling in the same direction. Micko is speeding at a constant velocity of 25 m/s. While Lester, who is 50 meters behind Micko when he starts from rest, accelerates at a constant rate of 5 〖m/s〗^2. Determine: (a)The time it takes for Lester to catch Micko. (b) The velocity of Lester when he catches Micko. (c) The displacement of lester as he catches Micko

Question
Two riders, Lester and Micko, are travelling in the same direction. Micko is speeding at a constant velocity of 25 m/s. While Lester, who is 50 meters behind Micko when he starts from rest, accelerates at a constant rate of 5 〖m/s〗^2.
Determine:
(a)The time it takes for Lester to catch Micko.
(b) The velocity of Lester when he catches Micko.
(c) The displacement of lester as he catches Micko
(d) When Lester catches Micko, Lester begins to slow down at a rate of 2.5 〖m/s〗^2. Calculate the total distance travelled by Lester
