Question

A bus is travelli ng with the velo ci ty of 60 km/hr . Pressin g the bra kes sud denly, it is reta rde d to 0.05 m/s2 . How fa r w ill it tra vel bef ore com ing to rest?

(Ans:20m, 4s)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Initial velocity(u) = 60 km/hr = 50/3 m/s

final velocity(v)= 0 (stops at rest)

acceleration(a) = -0.05 m/s²

display (s)=?

v²-u²=2as

0²- (50/3)= 2(-0.05)s

2500/9= 0.1s

s= 25000/9 m
