Question 338016: a car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 23.3 km/h in 8.4s. what is the distance it travels during this time?
Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Instantaneous velocity as a function of time is
\ =\ at\ +\ v_o)
Here, initial velocity, 
, 
sec, and \ =\ 6.472)
m/sec
Solve for 
Then, distance traveled is given by:
\ =\ \frac{1}{2}at\ +\ v_ot\ +\ h_o)
, , , and is what you calculated above.
