a bus decrease its speed from 90 km to 60 km in 5 second find the acclaration of the bus
Answers
Given :
➳ Initial velocity = 90km/h
➳ Final velocity = 60km/h
➳ Time interval = 5s
To Find :
⟶ Acceleration of bus.
Concept :
➝ Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity.
➝ It is a vector quantity having both magnitude as well as direction.
➝ It can be positive, negative or zero.
➝ SI unit : m/s²
✴ First equation of kinematics :
Where,
➠ v denotes final velocity
➠ u denotes initial velocity
➠ a denotes acceleration
➠ t denotes time
Conversion :
➾ 1km/h = 5/18m/s
➾ 90km/h = 90×5/18 = 25m/s
➾ 60km/h = 60×5/18 = 16.67m/s
Calculation :
[Note : -ve sign of a denotes retardation.]
ANSWER :-
We have to find the acclaration of bus whose speed is decreases 90 km/h to 60 km/h in 5 second.
For solving these problems we must know the Newton's equation of motions - -
Here, we use (I) Equation of motion.
(I) Equation of motion i.e
- V = U + A T
Where,
V = Final velocity
U = Inital velocity
A = Accelaration
T= Time
Given,
- Inital velocity = 90km/hour
- Final velocity = 60 km/hour
Using the Newton's first equation of motion - -
V = U + A T
60 km/hour = 90 km/hour + A × 5 second
- A × 5 second = 25 m/s - 16.67 m/s
- A = 8.33 m/s ÷ ( 5 second )
- A = 1.66 m/s^2
A = - 1.66 m/s^2
[ Negative sign shows retardation. ]
Hence, The Accelaration of the bus is
- 1.66 m/s^2
