Detailed Solution

The acceleration of the bus is -144000 km/.
Initial speed, =80 km/h
Final speed, = 60 km/h
Time = 5 sec = 5/3600 h
From the equation of motion
We know that, = u+at........................equation (1)
Putting all the values in equation (1),
60 = 80+a×(53600)
or, = -14400 km/ (As body is retarding)
Hence, the acceleration is -144000 km/.
