Question

A bus going at 36 km/h is stopped in 6 seconds by brakes. Calculate the acceleration. Pls add working

Answer 1

The answer is 3/5 ms-2 as accelaration is change in velocity divided by time so converting 36km/h into ms we have 10ms so 10/6=3/5ms-2

Answer 2

Answer:

Acceleration = - 1.66 m/s²

Explanation:

Given-

• Initial velocity (v) = 0 m/s
• Final velocity (u) = 36 km/hr = 10 m/sec
• Time = 6 secs.

ㅤ

To Find -

• Acceleration.

ㅤ

Solution-

$\blue\bigstar$Formula -

$\tt\red{acceleration=\frac{v-u}{time}}$

ㅤ

$\orange\bigstar$Answer -

Acceleration $= \frac{0 - 10}{6} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 10}{6} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 5}{3} \\ \\ = - 1.66$

ㅤ

$\green\bigstar$Required Solution -

Acceleration is (-1.66 m/s²).
