Question

If a bus starts from rest and has a uniform acceleration of 1m/s^2 for 5 minutes, what's the distance travelled

Answer 1

Hi there,

Given,

Acceleration of bus = 1 m/s^2

As we know 1 min = 60 seconds.

so, In 5 minutes it will cover = 5×60 = 300 m

Thank you

Answer 2

a = (v-u)÷t
1=(v-0)÷5
5=v
5m/s is the final speed
Now using v²=u²+2as
5²=2(1)(s)
25÷2=s
12.5m=distance travelled
