you are standing at rest at a bus stop. a bus moving at a constant speed of passes you. when the rear of the bus is 12.0 m past you, you realize that it is your bus, so you start to run toward it with a constant acceleration of how far would you have to run before you catch up with the rear of the bus, and how fast must you be running then? would an average college student be physically able to accomplish this?

It looks like your physics problem is missing some key numerical values (like the speed of the bus and your acceleration), which are necessary to calculate how far you need to run and how fast you must be running to catch the bus. Could you please provide those numbers? For example:

  • The constant speed of the bus (in m/s)
  • Your constant acceleration (in m/s²)

Once I have those details, I can help you solve the problem step-by-step and discuss whether an average college student could physically accomplish it.
