Question

A bus starting from rest moves with uniform accleration of 0•1m/s^2 for 2minutes find (a) the speed aquired (b) the didtance travrlled

Answer 1

Here, acceleration a = 0.1 ms-2

Time t = 2min = 2 x 60 = 120s

Initial speed u = 0

(a) From Ist equation of motion, speed acquired, v = u + at


= 0 + 0.1 x 120

= 12 ms-2

(b) From IInd equation of motion,

Distance travelled,



= 0.1 x 60 x 120 = 720 m
