Question 1039384
.
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?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
The distance S for the uniformly accelerated motion is


S = {{{(at^2)/2}}} = {{{1*60^2/2}}} = {{{3600/2}}} = 1800 m.


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