Question

A school bus is heading to school at a constant velocity. After covering a distance of 140 m in 5.0 s, the driver applies brakes on a traffic signal and comes to rest in 4.0 s. Determine the magnitude of its acceleration in i) $$m/s^{2}$$ and ii) in terms of the gravitational constant (g).

Accepted Answer

i. 7.0 $$m/s^{2}$$, ii. 0.7 g

Answer

i. 8.4 $$m/s^{2}$$, ii. 0.4 g
