Question

A bus travels north on some busy city streets for 2.5 km, and a trip

Answer 1

Answer:

V = 4.63 m/s

V = 11.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The distance traveled by the bus, towards north, d = 2.5 km

                                                                                     = 2500 m

The time taken by the trip is, t = 9 min

                                                  = 540 s

The velocity of the bus,

                                       V = d / t

                                           = 2500 / 540

                                          = 4.63 m/s

At another  point, the bus travels at a constant speed of v = 18 m/s

Therefore the velocity becomes

                                                V = (4.63 + 18)/2

                                                   = 11.31 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the  bus, V = 11.31 m/s
