A passenger train pulls away from the station and accelerated at a rate of 1m/s^2 for 1 minute. How many meters had traveled by the end of this minute?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The distance S for the uniformly accelerated motion is


S = %28at%5E2%29%2F2 = 1%2A60%5E2%2F2 = 3600%2F2 = 1800 m.


Here "a" is the acceleration, "t" is time (in seconds, in this case).
