A bus starts from rest and attains a velocity of 46m/s after 10sec.Find the acceleration and the distance travelled in 5sec and in 10sec.
Answers
Answer:-
Given:
Initial Velocity (u) = 0 m/s [ bus is at rest ]
Final Velocity (v) = 46 m/s
Time (t) = 10 sec
We know that,
Acceleration (a) = (v - u) / t
→ a = (46 - 0) / 10
→ a = 46/10
→ a = 4.6 m/s²
We have to find:
The distance travelled in 5 s and 10 s.
Using 2nd equation of motion,
→ s = ut + 1/2 * at²
[ s is the Distance travelled ]
The value of s when t = 5 s is :
→ s = (0)(5) + 1/2 * (4.6) * (5)²
→ s = 57.5 m
The value of s when t = 10 s is :
→ s = (0)(10) + 1/2 * (4.6) * (10)²
→ s = 230 m
Therefore,
- Acceleration of the bus is 4.6 m/s²
- Distance travelled in 5 seconds is 57.5 m.
- Distance travelled in 10 seconds is 230 m.
Answer:
Explanation:
OK the question is quite easier.
The acceleration is the rate of change of velocity that needs to be understood first.
a ==> acceleration
u==> initial velocity
v==> final velocity
s==> distance travelled
t==> time
Over here as the bus is starting from rest, the initial velocity = u = 0 m/s
final velocity attained = v = 46 m/s
we have the formula.
a = [v-u] / t
= 46-0 / 10
= 46/10 = 4.6 m/s²
thus we say a =4.6 m/s²
at t=5
v = at = 4.6 x 5 = 23.0 m/s
v' = 46 m/s
s = ut + 1/2 at²
= (23)(5) + 1/2 (4.6)(5)²
