Physics 12: Acceleration and Distance Problem Solution

[Shakers]

Homework Statement

a car accelerates in a straight line from rest ot a velocity of 80km/h in a time of 6s

Homework Equations

what is the acceleration of the car?
how far did the car travel in this time?

The Attempt at a Solution

Now I am trying to convert 80km/h to m/s, so that equals 22.22m/s. I am doing this as an online course and I can't find a formula? Can someone help me please?

1km/hour = 1000m/3600secs = 1/3.6m / s. This means, that to get m/s from km/hour, you just need to divide it by 3.6.
Acceleration a = dv / dt, both of which you know.
And as for how far did the car travel, s=(a/2)*t^2, since it's from resting. Those are the formulas you need.

The course does not provide any reference or study material containing formulas? Sounds like you are wasting your money, if you are paying.
