Chapter 16.1, Problem 3CC
The total distance traveled from position zero by an object undergoing constant acceleration can be determined by
where v0 is the initial velocity, t is time, and a is acceleration. Develop a written algorithm to calculate the total distance (in kilometers) traveled at time t in hours, assuming initial velocity is given in miles per hour and acceleration is given in meters per second squared.
