Answer:
a = 3.125 [m/s^2]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of kinematics. But first, we have to convert the speed of 90 [km/h] to meters per second.
[tex]90\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s} \\= 25 \frac{m}{s}[/tex]
[tex]v_{f} =v_{i} + (a*t)[/tex]
where:
Vf = final velocity = 25 [m/s]
Vi = initial velocity = 0
a = acceleration [m/s^2]
t = time = 8 [s]
The initial speed is zero as the bus starts to koverse from rest. The positive sign of the equation means that the bus increases its speed.
25 = 0 + a*8
a = 3.125 [m/s^2]
