Homework Statement
A car is traveling at a straight line with an initial velocity of 14 m/s accelerates at a rate of 2.0 m/s^2 to a velocity of 24 m/s. What is the distance covered by the car in this process?
Homework Equations
d=Vot + 1/2at^2
The Attempt at a Solution
Now I'm not sure if you would take the final velocity of 24 m/s subtract that from the initial velocity of 14 m/s to get 10 m/s. Or do I do something totally different?
I'm not sure how to plug the numbers into the equation. I've been looking over my notes, textbook, and power point slides but I'm confused. I tried emailing my professor hours ago but of course haven't gotten a reply. Any help you could provide me with would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
