Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed = (15 - 30) = -15 km/hr
Time for the change = 4 sec

Acceleration = (-15 km/hr) / (4 sec) = -3.75 km/hr per second .

Is that a lot ? Not much ?

Let's convert it to a unit that we can think about:

(-15 km/hr) x (1,000 m/km) x (1 hr / 3,600 sec) =

(-15 x 1,000) / (3,600) = -(4 and 1/6) m/sec .

So the acceleration of the bus is -(4 and 1/6) m/sec² .

The negative sign means that it slowed down.

(4 and 1/6) m/sec² is about 42% of the acceleration of gravity ...
the acceleration the bus would have if it drove off of a cliff.

When the car or the bus you're riding in slows down at that rate,
you feel 42% of your weight pulling you forward against your
seat belt. That's quite a drastic acceleration !

Acetic acid /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named ethanoic acid /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. it is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7 3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366 chemblchembl539 chemspider171 drugbankdb03166 echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260 (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010 meshacetic+acidpubchem cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4) key: qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n smilescc(o)=o

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
