---
50 km/hr = 50000/3600 m/sec = 125/9 m/sec
----
v = a*t
t = (125/9)/2 = 125/18 seconds
t =~ 7 seconds
---
s = at^2/2
s = 2*(125/18)^2/2
s = 15625/324 meters
s =~ 48.225 meters (distance to accelerate to 50 km/hr, in ~ 7 seconds)
-----
Moving at 125/9 m/sec for the remaining time:
s = v*t = (125/9)*6 = 83.333 meters
Total distance =~ 131.56 meters
