a bus acceleration uniformly from 54 km/h to 72 km/h in 10 seconds. calculate 1) acceleration in m/s2 . 2) distance covered by the bus in meters during this interval.
plz tell me urgently
Answers
Acceleration = Change in velocity / Time
= v - u / t
72km/h = 72 × 5 / 18 m/s = 20m/s
54km/h = 54 × 5 / 18m/s = 15m/s
Acceleration = 20-15 / 10
= 5 /10
= 0.5 m/s²
To find distance we use the formula
v² = u² + 2aS here v is the final velocitiy (72km/h)
u is the initial velocity(54km/h)
a is the acceleration
S is the distance
20² = 15² + 2 × 0.5 × S
400 = 225 + 1×S
400 - 225 = S
S = 175 m
Therefore distance = 175m
It is given that initial velocity of car is 54km/h , final velocity is 72 km/h in 10 seconds accelerating uniformly.
We have to find i) Acceleration in m/s² ii) Distance covered by bus in 10 seconds.
Solution
Here, initial velocity of bus = 54 km/h
→ Initial velocity (u) = 54 × (5/18)
→ Initial velocity (u) = 15 m/s
Again, final velocity of bus = 72 km/h
→ Final velocity (v) = 72 × (5/18)
→ Final velocity (v) = 20 km/h
Using 1st equation of motion :
→ v = u + at
→ 20 = 15 + a × 10
→ 20 = 15 + 10a
→ 10a = 20 - 15
→ 10a = 5
→ a = 5/10
→ a = 0.5 m/s²
So, acceleration of bus = 0.5 m/s²

Again,
Using 3rd equation of motion :
→ v² - u² = 2as
→ 20² - 15² = 2 × 0.5 × s
→ 400 - 225 = s
→ s = 175 m
So, distance covered by bus = 175 m
