A bus decreases its speed from 80km/h to 60km/h in 5s.Find the acceleration of the bus
Answers
Answer:
Acceleration a = (V - U) / t
Given: Initial velocity (U) = 80 km/hr = 80 × 5/18 = 400/18 = 22.2m/sec
Final velocity (V) = 60 km/hr = 60 × 5/18 = 300/18 = 16.6m/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

U= initial velocity= 80 km/h = 22.2 m/s
v= final velocity = 60 km/h = 16.7 m/s
t= time = 5 s
We have to find a= acceleration = ?
a = v – u/t
a = 16.7 – 22.2/5
= -5.5/5
Therefore, acceleration a = -1.1 m/s2
The negative sign implies that the velocity is decreasing.
