Question

The speed of a bus increases uniformly from
15 ms- to 60 ms in 20 seconds. Calculate
a. the average speed,
b. the acceleration,
C. the distance travelled during the entire
period The speed of a bus increases uniformly from
15 ms- to 60 ms in 20 seconds. Calculate
a. the average speed,
b. the acceleration,
C. the distance travelled during the entire
period​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a. For constant acceleration:

v_avg = ½ (v + v₀)

v_avg = ½ (60 m/s + 15 m/s)

v_avg = 37.5 m/s

b. a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (60 m/s − 15 m/s) / 20 s

a = 2.25 m/s²

c. x = v_avg t

x = (37.5 m/s) (20 s)

x = 750 m
