Question

a bus is traveling at a velocity of 25 m/s straight south what effect will an acceleration of 4m/s2 north have on a bus

Answer 1

The acceleration will cause the bus to travel for 6.25secs

Explanation:

For us to get the effect the acceleration will have on the bus, we need to calculate the time taken by the bus to travel.

Using the acceleration formula;

Acceleration = Velocity/Time

Given

Acceleration = 4m/s²

Velocity = 25m/s

Required

Time

From the formula;

Time = Velocity/acceleration

Time = 25/4

Time = 6.25secs

Hence the acceleration will cause the bus to travel for 6.25secs
