Question

A bus decreases its speed from 80 kmh–1 to 62 kmh –1 in 5 s. Find the acceleration of the bus.​

Answer 1

Speed is defined as the rate at which an object covers a distance.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

answer: The acceleration of the bus is -1.12m/s2

Let us understand the relationship between acceleration, speed and time.

explanation:

Acceleration a = (V - U) / t

Given: Initial velocity (U) = 80 km/hr = 80 × 5/18 = 400/18 = 22.2 m/sec

Final velocity (V) = 60 km/hr = 60 × 5/18 = 300/18 = 16.6 m/sec

Acceleration a = (V - U) / t

= (16.6 - 22.2)/5

= -5.6/5

= -1.12 m/s2

Negative sign indicates that the velocity is decreasing.

Therefore, the acceleration of the bus that decreases its speed from 80 kilometers per hour to 60 km per hour in 5 seconds is -1.12m/s2
