Problem 1 A motorist is cruising in their car at a constant speed of 25 m/s. Over the next 10 seconds, they accelerate at a constant rate until their speed is 30 m/s, then they stop accelerating and begin cruising at this new constant speed. How much distance do they cover while they're accelerating? Don't forget units!

Hi I am in phyiscs I and it has the problem a runner ran the marathon (approx. 26.1) in 2 hours and 57 min. What was the average speed of the runner in m/s? I understand that I would have to divide the total distance by the total time, but I'm not sure how they changed the miles to meters. Please break it down so I can understand. I tried to solve it how you guys did it but I keep getting another answer. Thank you!

Hi I am in physics 1 and am trying to understand this problem. The problem saids a flea jumps vertically up at a speed of 2.1m/s. How high does it reach before it starts to fall back down? I found the seconds it takes to of how long it takes which was 0.21s. But I'm not sure of the distance. Please break this down and explain in detail. Thank you!
