Abus traveling at 24 m/s slows down to 12 m/s in 5.0 seconds. what is the acceleration?

a = -2.4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The initial speed of the bus, u = 24 m/s

The final speed of bus, v = 12 m/s

Time taken to reach final speed is, t = 5.0 s

The acceleration of the body is given by the change in velocity by time

                                      a = (v - u) / t

                                         = (12 - 24) / 5

                                         = -2.4 m/s²

The negative sign in the acceleration indicates that the bus is decelerating.

Therefore, the acceleration of the bus is, a = -2.4 m/s²
