I have an initial velocity of 3.0 m/s, and an acceleration of 5.612 m/s^2 over 8 seconds. How do I calculate the total distance travelled? TiA.

The equation is one of the fundamental velocity/distance equations.
Which one contains initial velocity, time, and acceleration to solve for distance?

Figured it out in class today... would anyone happen to know where I can get a list of these formulas on the net or something... I want to memorize them.

You need only F=ma.
The rest is just plug&chug..:wink:
