  1. Given:

    u=0m/s because bus is starting from rest

    v=45m/s bus attains this speed

    t=10s at this duration of time

    To Find: a=? and s=? at t=5s and t=10s

    So, let t=10s

    Now,

    v’= 45/2= 22.5m/s because at 10s it attains 45 so in 5s it will attain half of 45

    So,

    we have the formula for acceleration,

    a=(v+u)/t in this case u is 0

    so, a=v’/t v’ we took because to find for 5s

    now substituting there values, we get,

    a=22.5/5

    a=4.5m/s²

    Now,

    for t=10s

    so, same formula we use instead of v’ now we use v which is final velocity

    So,

    a=45/10

    a=4.5m/s²

    Therefore the acceleration at t=5s is 4.5m/s² and at t=10s is 4.5m/s²

    therefore we can also conclude that the bus is uniformly accelerated till time t=10s

    Now, we have to find distance s=?

    so for t=5s

    we have,

    s=ut+(1/2)at²

    s=0*5+(1/2)*4.5*(5)²

    s= 0+(1/2)*112.5

    s=56.25m

    And,

    for t=10s

    s=ut+(1/2)at²

    s=0*10+(1/2)4.5*(10)²

    s=(1/2)*450

    s=225m

    There for the distance travelled at t=5s is 56.25m and at t=10s is 225m
