Yes, the equation
D= Vit + 1/2 at^2
is appropriate with or without acceleration.
Constant speed means that the acceleration (a) is zero, so the second term disappears to degenerate into the more familiar equation:
Distance = Speed * Time.
A bike travels at a constant speed of 4.0 m/s for 5.0 s. How far does it go?
GIVEN:
V = 4.0 m/s
t = 5.0 s
Would you use this equation?
D= Vit + 1/2 at^2
