Question

A bus is moving at a speed of 150km/hr. Begins to slow at a constant rate of 3.0m/s each second. Find how far it goes before stopping

Answer 1

Distance = 13.9 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Maximum speed = 150 km/hr to meters per seconds = 150 * 1000/3600 = 41.67 m/s

Decelerating speed = 3m/s

To find the distance travelled with this speed;

Distance = maximum speed/decelerating speed

Distance = 41.67/3

Distance = 13.9 meters

Therefore, the bus would travel a distance of 13.9 meters before stopping.
