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.
