Question

A driver applies brakes and slows down the velocity of the bus from 22 m/s to 16 m/s in 5 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of bus

Answer 1

Answer:

Initial velocity (u) = 22m/s

Final velocity (v) = 16m/s

Time (t) = 5sec

Accleration = ?

We know that a = v-u/t

= 16 - 22/5

= 11.6m/s^2

Accleration of the bus is 11.6m/s^2
