A car accelerates from rest to a speed 20 m/s in 12 s. Find the distance the car travels this time

The first thing we need to do is figure out what equation to use. We will use the following kinematic equation ...

Δx = (final velocity + initial velocity) x time / 2

We know that the car accelerates from rest, so initial velocity = 0 m/s

We also know final velocity = 20 m/s and time = 12s

Now we just need to plug everything in.

Δx = (20 x 12) / 2 = 120 meters
