The bus, moving away from a standstill in 50 seconds, increased its speed to 15 m / s. What is the acceleration of the bus?

Task data: V1 (initial speed) = 0 m / s (the given bus started to move); t (duration of accelerated movement) = 50 s; V2 (speed acquired by the bus) = 15 m / s.

The acceleration of a given bus can be determined by the formula: a = (V2 – V1) / t.

Let’s perform the calculation: a = (15 – 0) / 50 = 15/50 = 0.3 m / s2.

Answer: The specified bus moved with an acceleration of 0.3 m / s2.
