A bus decreases its speed from 72 km//h ...

A bus decreases its speed from `72 km//h` to `54 km//h` in `10 s`. Calculate the acceleration of the bus.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the acceleration of the bus, we can use the formula for acceleration: \[ \text{Acceleration} (a) = \frac{\text{Final Velocity} (v_f) - \text{Initial Velocity} (v_i)}{\text{Time} (t)} \] ### Step 1: Convert the speeds from km/h to m/s The initial speed \( v_i = 72 \text{ km/h} \) and the final speed \( v_f = 54 \text{ km/h} \). We need to convert these speeds into meters per second (m/s) using the conversion factor \( 1 \text{ km/h} = \frac{1}{3.6} \text{ m/s} \). ...
