Answer

Here we have,

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 0.1ms–2

Time (t) = 2 minute = 120 seconds

(a) The speed acquired:

We know that, v = u + at

⇒ v = 0 + 0.1 × 120 m/s

⇒ v = 12 m/s

Thus, the bus will acquire a speed of 12 m/s after 2 minute with the given acceleration.

(b) The distance travelled:

We know that, s = ut + {1\over2}at^2

= 0 × 120 + {1\over2}× 0.1 × (120)2

= {1\over2}× 0.1 ×14400 m = 720 m

Thus, bus will travel a distance of 720 m in the given time of 2 minute.
