Answer:

If the acceleration is constant, the movements equations are:

a(t) = A.

for the velocity we can integrate over time:

v(t) = A*t + v0

where v0 is a constant of integration (the initial velocity), for the distance traveled between t = 0 units and t = 10 units, we can solve the integral:


\int\limits^(10)_0 {A*t + v0} \, dt = ((A/2)10^2 + v0*10) = (A*50 + v0*10)

Where to obtain the actual distance you can replace the constant acceleration A and the initial velocity v0.
