Question

A car accelerates from rest at 1.0 m/s2 for 20.0 seconds along a straight road. It then moves at a constant speed for half an hour. It then decelerates uniformly to a stop in 30.0 s. Find the total distance covered by the car.

HELP​

Answer 1

50m

Explanation:

speed (m/s2) = distance (m) ÷ time (s)

distance = speed (m/s2) x time (s)

1x20 =20m.

30s = 30m because they do 1 meter per second (every second)

50m in total if not counting the constant for half a hour.
