An object travels in a straight line at a uniform velocity of 10 m/s for 3 seconds and then travels for 2 seconds at a constant speed of 5 meters per second in the same direction. Calculate the total distance traveled.

pleez maybe a formula or two ill do the rest of it!
 
post this in the homework help forum, that's a more appropriate place!
 
As I said in the other thread where you asked the same question, you only need one formula. If I tell you what it looks like I will have done too much already. We're supposed to offer hints here, not complete solutions.
 
If you are going to grandmas house for thanksgiving dinner and it takes you 1 hr to get there when you drive at 60 mi/hr, how far is it to grandmas house?
 
Uniform velocity then constant speed in the same direction.

Interesting choice of words.
