A bus starting from rest moves with a uniform acceleration of 0.1 m/s² for 2 minutes. Find (a) the speed  acquired (b) the distance traveled

 -Shresthi  Goyal, Subject Matter Expert at Edumarz

Answer.

Since, bus is starting from rest, u=0 

a = 0.1 m/s² (Given) 

t = 2 minutes 2X60 seconds. 120 seconds

 v=?

s=?

Where,

v= final velocity

s=distance travelled

(b) s= ut + 1/2 at ²

= (0X120) + (1/2) × 0.1× 120 × 120s= 0 + 720m= 720m
