Question

The minivan your mom lets you drive accelerates from 12 m/s to 24 m/s in 6.5 s. How far does it travel in this time? Assume constant acceleration.

Answer 1

average velocity equals initial plus final, divided by two

Va = (12 + 24) / 2 = 18 m/s

distance equals velocity times time

d = 18 * 6.5
