when brakes are applied to a bus, the retardation produced is 25 cm s^-2 and the bus takes 20 second to stop calculate the initial velocity of the bus and the distance travelled by bus during this time

Expert Answer:
a = 25 cm/s2
v = 0
t = 20 s
v = u + at
0 = u + (-25) x (20)
u = 500 cm/s
Initial velocity, u = 500 cm/s
s = ut + (1/2) at2
s = (500) (20) + (1/2) (-25) (20)2
s = 10000 + (-5000)
s = 5000 cm = 50 metres
Distance travelled by bus after applying brakes is 50 metres.
