Ms. Garcia’s car can go from rest to 25 m/s in 10 seconds. The car’s velocity changes at a uniform rate. How far does the car travel in these 10 seconds?

We will use this equation:

s = 1/2*a*t^2 + v0*t + s0

where:

s = space traveled

a = acceleration

t = time

v0 = initial speed

s0 = initial space

In this case::

v0 = 0

s0 = 0

So our equation will look like that now:

s = 1/2 * a * t^2

let's calculate the acceleration first of all:

a = (vf - vi) / t

where vf is the final speed and vi is the initial speed. t is the time.

a = (25m/s) / 10s = 2.5 m/s^2

Now we can calculate the space:

s = 1/2 * (2.5 m/s^2) * (10s)^2 = 125m
