A bus decreases its speed from 80 km per hour from 60 km per hour in 5 seconds calculate the acceleration and distance
Answers
Answer:
a = -1.112 m/s²
DISTANCE =97.2m
Explanation:
80 km/hr = 200/9 m/s = u
60 km/hr = 100/6 m/s = v
a = (v - u)/t
a = (100/6 - 200/9)/5
a =(16.66 - 22.22)/5
a = -5.56/5 m/s² = -1.112m/s²
S = ut + 1/2 at²
S = 22.22 x 5 + 1/2 (-1.112) x 5²
S= 111.1 - 13.9
S= 97.2 m

Question
A bus decreases its speed from 80 km per hour to 60 km per hour in 5 seconds. Calculate the acceleration and distance covered by the bus.
Solution-
A bus decreases its speed from 80 km per hour to 60 km per hour in 5 seconds.
Here, the initial speed of the bus is 80 km/hr and final speed of the bus is 60 km/hr and time taken by the bus is 5 sec.
We have to find the acceleration and distance covered by the bus.
Firstly convert km/hr into m/s. To do this, multiply with 5/18.
Initial speed/velocity (u) = 80 × 5/18 = 22.22 m/s
Final speed/velocity (v) = 60 × 5/18 = 16.67 m/s
Using the First Equation Of Motion,
v = u + at
Substitute the known values in the above formula,
16.67 = 22.22 + a(5)
16.67 - 22.22 = 5a
-5.55 = 5a
-1.11 = a
(Negative sign shows retardation)
Therefore, the acceleration of the bus is 1.11 m/s².
Now, using the Second Equation Of Motion,
s = ut + 1/2 at²
Substitute the known values,
s = 22.22(5) + 1/2 × (-1.11)(5)²
s = 111.1 - 1.11/2 × 25
s = 111.1 - 0.555 × 25
s = 111.1 - 13.875
s = 97.225
Therefore, the distance covered by the bus is 97.23 m.
