Answer:

a = -2.4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The initial speed of the bus, u = 24 m/s

The final speed of bus, v = 12 m/s

Time taken to reach final speed is, t = 5.0 s

The acceleration of the body is given by the change in velocity by time

                                      a = (v - u) / t

                                         = (12 - 24) / 5

                                         = -2.4 m/s²

The negative sign in the acceleration indicates that the bus is decelerating.

Therefore, the acceleration of the bus is, a = -2.4 m/s²

Citrus2011 [14]

For the answer to the question above, so at the instant, the acceleration of the airplane is southward, the direction of the velocity is also southward. The direction should be the same because it is both a vector quantity and it does not make sense if the direction and acceleration have different direction.

Calculate the acceleration of gravity as a function of depth in the earth (assume it is a sphere). You may use an average densit
Ber [7]

Solution :

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth, g $=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

$g=\frac{G(4/3 \pi R^2 \rho)}{R^2}=G(4/3 \pi R \rho)$

Acceleration due to gravity at 1000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-1000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 822486 \times 10^{-8}$

  $=0.822 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

 = 8.23 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 2000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-2000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 673552 \times 10^{-8}$

  $=0.673 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

 = 6.73 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 3000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-3000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 3371 \times 153.86 \times 10^{-8}$

  = 5.18 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 4000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-4000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 153.84 \times 2371 \times 10^{-8}$

  $=0.364 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

 = 3.64 m/s
