The velocity of a body moving with uniform acceleration increases steadily. Its average velocity therefore equals half the sum of its initial and final velocities, if S is the distance moved in time T, then find out the formula of distance.

A spacecraft is always headed north, starts at 90m/s, and maintains a constant acceleration of 0.7m/s2 for 3.9 min. What is it's displacement during this time? Round your answer to 3 significant digits, and don't forget the units.
The displacement (in meters) of an object moving in a straight line is given by s=2/t where t is measured in seconds. Find the average velocity over the time interval [1,3]. Find the instantaneous rate velocity when t=1. Note: Do not use rules of differentiation.
A train accelerates uniformly from rest at station A to a maximum speed of 72 km/h. The constant maximum speed is maintained for a period of time and the train then decelerates uniformly until it comes to a stop at station B. The distance between the two railway stations is 22 km and the journey takes 20 minutes. If the magnitude of the acceleration is half that of deceleration, by using the graphical method, determine the acceleration, in meters per second per second, and the time, in minutes, during which the train travels at its maximum speed.
An object is moving in the air (defying gravity) so that its height after t seconds is given by ℎ(t)=18sin(t)cos(t)+8t meters. (If you graph this function, you can see it's moving up and down, but going higher and higher as time goes on.) a) At what time, t, does the object first change direction from going up to going down? b) What is the acceleration (m/s^2) of the object at that same time?
In coming to a stop, a car leaves skid marks 77 mm long on the highway. Assuming a deceleration of 4.30 m/s2m/s2 , estimate the speed of the car just before braking. Express your answer using two significant figures.
The acceleration of a particle is given by a = 2t - 15, where a is in meters per second squared and t is in seconds. Determine the velocity and displacement as functions of time. The initial displacement at t = 0 is 5o = -6 m, and the initial velocity is vo= 5 m/s. Once you have determined the functions of time, answer the questions.

The velocity of a particle traveling in a straight line is given by v = (6t – 3t²) m/s, where t is in seconds. Ifs=0 when t = 0, determine the particle's deceleration and position when t = 5 s. How far has the particle traveled during the t = 5 s time interval, and what is its average speed?

(B) Estimate the instantaneous velocity when t = 3. Answer:
The acceleration of a particle is given by a - 2t - 17, where a is in meters per second squared and tis in seconds. Determine the velocity and displacement as functions of time. The initial displacement at t= 0 is so = -2 m, and the initial velocity is vo = 4 m/s. Once you have determined the functions of time, answer the questions. Questions: When t = 5.9 s, m i m/s m/s?
A physics student at a track meet has a radar gun which she can use to measure the speeds of the runners. Shortly after the start of one race she measures that the speed of a runner is 1.57 m/s. When the runner is 11.2 meters farther along the track, she measures the runner’s speed to be 7.87 m/s. Determine the runner’s acceleration during this interval (assuming the runner’s acceleration is constant)?
