A student is standing at a distance of \(50\) metres from the bus. As soon as the bus begins its motion with an acceleration of \(1\) ms^–2, the student starts running towards the bus with a uniform velocity \(u\). Assuming the motion to be along a straight road, the minimum value of \(u\), so that the student is able to catch the bus is:
1. \(5\) ms^–1
2. \(8\) ms^–1
3. \(10\) ms^–1
4. \(12\) ms^–1
