Checking Distance Travelled by Car: Is 3.2 km Right?

[brad sue]

I would like to check something.
A car leaves a city along a straight road and accelerates uniformly for 1.6 min until it reaches a speed of 120km/h. It then deccelerates uniformly until it comes to rest again after 1.6min
what is the distance traveled by the car?

I used the equ. x-x_o=.5*a*t²+v_o*t
before I found the acceleration..
I found 3.2 km

Is that right?
Thanks

Right-O.

for reaching out. Based on the information provided, I can confirm that your calculation of 3.2 km for the distance traveled by the car is correct. However, it would be helpful to provide more context and details about the experiment or scenario in order to fully assess the accuracy of this calculation. Additionally, it would be important to double check your units and make sure they are consistent throughout the equation. Overall, your approach using the equation x-xo=.5*a*t2+vo*t is sound and can be used to accurately calculate the distance traveled by the car in this scenario.
