Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{2.5 \: m \: / \: {s} \: ^(2) }}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:


\star{ \text{ Given}} :

Initial velocity ( u ) = 20 m / s

Final velocity ( v ) = 30 m / s

Time taken ( t ) = 4 second


\star{ \text{ \: To \: Find}} :

Acceleration of a bus ( A ) = ?

We know,


\boxed{ \sf{acceleration \: ( \: a \: ) \: = (final \: velocity(v) - \: initial \: velocity \: ( \: u \: ))/(time \: taken \: ( \: t \: ))}}


\longmapsto \: { \sf{ \: acceleration = (30 - 20)/(4) }}


\longmapsto{ \sf{ \: acceleration = (10)/(4) }}


\longmapsto{ \sf{acceleration = 2.5 \: m \: / \: {s} \: ^(2) }}

The acceleration of bus = 2.5 m / s ²

Hope I helped!
