A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 24.3 km/h in 5.8 s.
The initial velocity of the car is u = 0 and the final velocity is v = 24.3 km/h = 6.75 m/s
The distance traveled by the car in this duration is `u*t + (1/2)*a*t^2`

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 24.3 km/h in 5.8 s.
The initial velocity of the car is u = 0 and the final velocity is v = 24.3 km/h = 6.75 m/s
The distance traveled by the car in this duration is `u*t + (1/2)*a*t^2`
=> `0*5.8 + (1/2)*(6.75 - 0)/5.8*5.8^2`
=> `0 + 6.75*5.8/2`
=> 19.575 m
The car travels a distance 19.575 m.
