  • Calculating Distance with Constant Acceleration: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem using the equations of motion:

    1. Identify the known values:

    * Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (starts from rest)

    * Acceleration (a) = 1.1 m/s²

    * Time (t) = 4.7 s

    2. Determine the unknown value:

    * Displacement (s) = ?

    3. Choose the appropriate equation:

    We can use the following equation of motion:

    * s = ut + (1/2)at²

    4. Substitute the values and solve:

    * s = (0 m/s)(4.7 s) + (1/2)(1.1 m/s²)(4.7 s)²

    * s = 0 + (0.55 m/s²)(22.09 s²)

    * s = 12.15 m (approximately)

    Therefore, the car travels approximately 12.15 meters.
