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.

A snowboarder’s velocity is tracked by a pulse-laser velocimeter as she descends the slope. These velocity data are stored and analyzed via an embedded curve fitting procedure to determine a velocity function of v(t) = 1.5t2 + 2t + 2 (t is time in seconds and v is velocity in ft/s). At time equal 0, position (x) is zero. Find her position (e.g., distance traveled), velocity and acceleration formulations and values of each when time equals 15 seconds. Clearly write the formulas before finding respective values at t = 15 seconds!
A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 5.21 seconds for a distance of 110 m. accelerates down a runway at 3.20 m/s2 for 32.8 s until is finally lifts off the ground, If Upton free falls for 2.60 seconds. The takeoff speed for this plane will be 65 m/s. Assuming this minimum acceleration, what is the minimum allowed length for the runway?
I want typed good format answer.Please don't skip it as advanced physics as it is simple physics problem.
Graph below represents the force on a 12 kg air mass as it passes through a jet engine. Immediately after entering the engine, the force is 9,039 N, and the force tapers linearly to zero once the air reaches the back of the engine 2.3 m later. If the air enters the engine with velocity 252 m/s, what is its exit velocity?
