An object starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to a speed of 30 m/s in 6 seconds. How far does the object travel during this time?
💡 Hint: Break it down into steps, calculate acceleration then apply it to the distance formula.
A skateboarder rolls down a ramp, increasing speed from 4 m/s to 16 m/s over 4 seconds. Calculate the skateboarder's acceleration and the distance traveled during the acceleration.
💡 Hint: Calculate acceleration first, then determine distance using the appropriate formula.
