If a car accelerates from rest at a constant 3.0 m/s/s(3.0m/s^2) A. how long will be required to each 15 m/s B. What distance does the car travel in the 15 minutes?

Answer: a. 5 seconds
b. 810,000 meters
Explanation:
Part a:
Listing everything is gives you:
Vi = 0
a = 3
Vf = 15
t = ?
Choose a kinematic equation to find the missing variable
I choose this one: Vf = Vi + at
15 = 0 + 3t
solving for t gives you t = 5seconds
Part b:
Listing everything it gives you:
t = 15min = 900seconds
a = 3
vi = 0
Δx = ?
Choose a kinematic equation
I did this one: Δx = Vit+[tex]\frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex]
Δx = (0)(900) + [tex]\frac{1}{2} (3)(900)^2[/tex]
you end up with Δx = 810,000m
