Answer:

9000m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Time = 30s

Acceleration = 20m/s²

Unknown:

Distance traveled = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use one of the kinematics equation.

S = ut +
(1)/(2)at²

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

t is the time taken

a is the acceleration

S = (0 x 30) + (
(1)/(2) x 20 x 30² ) = 9000m
