Question

A truck heading east has an initial velocity of 6 m/s. It accelerates at 2 m/s2 for 12 seconds. What distance does the truck travel in the given time?

Answer 1

-- The truck begins the scenario moving at 6 m/s.

-- After increasing its speed at the rate of 2 m/s² for 12 seconds,
it has gained (2 x 12) = 24 m/s of speed, and it's then moving
at 30 m/s. 

-- The truck's average speed during the 12 seconds is (1/2) (6 + 30) = 18 m/s 

-- Traveling at an average speed of 18 m/s for 12 seconds,
the truck travels

(18 m/s) x (12 sec) = 216 meters
