ANSWER:

781.25 meters

Explanation:

Given:

Time (t) = 25 sec

Acceleration (a) = 2.5 meters/sec/sec

Initial speed (u) = 0 meters/sec

Using the following formula, we calculate the distance traveled:


\begin{gathered} d=u+(1)/(2)at^2 \\ \\ \text{ We replacing} \\ \\ d=0+(1)/(2)\cdot2.5\cdot25^2 \\ \\ d=781.25\text{ meters } \end{gathered}

The distance traveled is equal to 781.25 meters
