How Do You Calculate Distance When Accelerating from Rest?

[astroboy397]

Hi , hello adios I'm new to these forums and require help to solve this Queston.

Find the distance covered by a body which initially starts from rest and then accelerates with 6 m/s^2 for 3 minutes.

Please write the answer in detail as I read in 9 grade , thnx

Welcome to Physics Forums
Formula is
S=ut+1/2at²
Where s is distance
u is initial speed
t is time
a is acceleration

So S=0*180+1/2*6*180
=97200m

This is a simple question.Have you tried it for yourself?

that's against the rules. that's all I am saying, now he didn't have to do the research to figure it out himself.

If the OP asked you to give him $100, would you have forked over the cash?
