    Calculating Distance Traveled: Airplane Acceleration Equation Explained

    By George, I think I've got it! I'm not even sure what I was doing wrong now before! Hahah. 1721.344 Ahh thank you for humoring me on this...I think perhaps I wasn't even squaring at the end. Couldn't even tell you now. :)

    Calculating Distance Traveled: Airplane Acceleration Equation Explained

    So then I assume I take half of 3.20 and multiply it by 32.8 squared?

    Calculating Distance Traveled: Airplane Acceleration Equation Explained

    Haha my ignorance is killing me. I guess I'm just not sure how to go about the math. I'm assuming the first part d = (0 m/s)*(32.8 s) is equal to zero since you are multiplying it...and then what?

    Calculating Distance Traveled: Airplane Acceleration Equation Explained

    Ahh yes. I am aware is should be squared. I'm completely new to physics and am struggling a bit. Is the first part of the equation: d = (0 m/s)*(32.8 s) not equal to zero since you are multiplying 32.8 by zero? From there I'm just..sort of lost. I apologize if this seem ignorant and basic.
