Answer:
Since Acceleration =Change in velocity/Time taken for the change
Hence,(5m/s)/5s which when further simplified gives 1m/s²

Answer:
Given :-
To Find :-
Solution :-
Given :
According to the question by using the formula we get,
[tex]\implies \sf\boxed{\bold{v =\: u + at}}\\[/tex]
where,
According to the question by using the formula we get,
[tex]\implies \sf 8 =\: 3 + a(5)[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf 8 =\: 3 + (a \times 5)[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf 8 =\: 3 + (5a)[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf 8 =\: 3 + 5a[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf 8 - 3 =\: 5a[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf 5 =\: 5a[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{\cancel{5}}{\cancel{5}} =\: a[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{1}{1} =\: a[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf 1 =\: a[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf\bold{\underline{a =\: 1\: m/s^2}}\\[/tex]
[tex]\therefore[/tex] The acceleration of the bus is 1 m/s² .
