Q1. A bus is moving at 30 m/s. Driver decreased its speed and bus stopped after moving 50m. Find time required to stop the bus after applying brakes.
Q2. A stone is gently released from top of the building. It strikes the ground in 5 second. Find height of the building. Take value of acceleration as 10 m/s/s.
Answers
Question 1 :-
Using the second equation of motion .
♦ v² - u² = 2as
Where ,
- v → final velocity = 0 m/s . Because the bus is at rest after motion .
- u → initial velocity = 30 m/s
- a → acceleration = ( v - u )/t
- t → time = ?
☞ 0² - ( 30 )² = 2 [ ( 0 - 30 )/t ] 50
☞ 0 - 900 = 100 [ -30/t ]
☞ - 900 = -3000/t
☞ t = -3000/-900
☞ t = 30/9 = 10/3
☞ Time = 3.33 s
Hence , time taken by the bus to stop after applying brakes = 3.33s
Question 2 :-
Using third equation of motion
♦ s = ut + 1/2 at²
Substituting the know values ,
☞ s = (0)(5) + 1/2 (10)(5)²
Initial velocity ( u ) will be zero because , the body has started from rest
☞ s = 0 + 1/2 (10) (25)
☞ s = 5 × 25
☞ Height of the building (s) = 125 m
Hence, height of the building = 125 m
Answer:
Question No 1 :-
- A bus is moving at 30 m/s. Driver decreased its speed and bus stopped after moving 50 m. Find the time required to stop the bus after applying brakes.
Given :-
- A bus is moving at 30 m/s. Driver decreased its speed and bus stopped after moving 50 m/s.
To Find :-
- What is the time required to stop the bus after applying brakes.
Formula Used :-
First Equation Of Motion Formula :
Second Equation Of Motion Formula :
where,
- v = Final Velocity
- u = Initial Velocity
- a = Acceleration
- t = Time
- s = Distance Covered
Solution :-
First, we have to find the value of acceleration :
Given :
- Final Velocity = 0 m/s
- Initial Velocity = 30 m/s
According to the question by using the formula we get,
Now, we have to find the time required to stop the bus after applying brakes :
Given :
- Final Velocity = 0 m/s
- Initial Velocity = 30 m/s
- Acceleration = - 30/t m/s²
- Distance Covered = 50 m
According to the question by using the formula we get,
By doing cross multiplication we get,
The time required to stop the bus after applying brakes is 3.33 seconds.

Question No 2 :-
- A stone is gently released from top of the building. It strikes the ground in 5 second. Find the height of the building. (Take acceleration (a) = 10 m/s²).
Given :-
- A stone is gently released from top of the building. It strikes the ground in 5 second. (a = 10 m/s²)
To Find :-
- What is the height of the building.
Formula Used :-
Third Equation Of Motion Formula :
where,
- s = Distance Covered or distance
- u = Initial Velocity
- t = Time
- a = Acceleration
Solution :-
Given :
- Initial Velocity = 0 m/s
- Time = 5 seconds
- Acceleration = 10 m/s²
According to the question by using the formula we get,
The height of the building is 125 m .
