Question 703848: If u start at 10/mph and accelerate to 100/mph in 6 seconds . How far did you travel?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
10 mph = 4.4704 m/s
100 mph = 44.70400 m/s


First calculate the acceleration


a = (delta v)/t

a = (44.70400 - 4.4704)/6

a = 6.7056

-------------------------------

Then use it to find the distance traveled

d = vi*t + 0.5a*t^2

d = 4.4704*6 + 0.5*6.7056*6^2

d = 147.5232

You have gone 147.5232 meters (approximately) which is roughly equal to 0.0916667 miles.
