Question

A bus has an initial speed of 0 m/s, after 4 seconds it is now travelling at 12 m/s. What is its acceleration?

Which own is right
• 3 m/s/s

• 12 m/s/s


• 3 s/m/m

• 8 m/s/s

The correct answer is 3 m/s/s.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. In this case, the bus increased its velocity from 0 m/s to 12 m/s over a period of 4 seconds.

Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Acceleration = (12 m/s - 0 m/s) / 4 s
Acceleration = 12 m/s / 4 s
Acceleration = 3 m/s/s

Therefore, the acceleration of the bus is 3 m/s/s.
