Question
A car takes 10 s to go from $v=0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ to $v=25 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ at constant acceleration. If you wish to find the distance traveled using the equation $d=1 / 2 a t^{2},$ what value should you use for $a$ ?
Step 1
The formula for acceleration is given by $a = \frac{v - u}{t}$, where $v$ is the final velocity, $u$ is the initial velocity, and $t$ is the time taken. Show more…

A car takes 10 s to go from v = 0 m/s to v = 25 m/s at constant acceleration. If you wish to find the distance traveled using the equation d = 1/2at^2, what value should you use for a? Need to show all work.
A car traveling with velocity 25 m/s begins to slow down at time t = 0 with a constant deceleration of a = -5 m/s². Find a. The velocity v(t) at time t, and b. The distance traveled before the car comes to a halt.
At time $t=0$ a car traveling $25 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ begins to accelerate at a constant rate of $-4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$. After how many seconds does the car come to a stop and how far will the car have traveled between $t=0$ and the time it stopped?
