Help check? I am not sure if I am correct but the equation connecting Speed, Distance, and Time is: D=RT Correct? So if I have, a problem like : A car travels at a steady speed of 20 m/s. calculate the distance travelled at 5s. Will I be correct by writing d= 20 * 5 =100?

yes, look at the units as a double check m/s  * s = m  which is what you want right?  Don't forgt your units.

anonymous · Answer

wait, can you explain how to accomplish that??

anonymous · Answer

you want to end up with meters since x is in meters (I assume).  On the right side you currently have time^2, so the units of that is s^2.  What do you multiply s^2 by to bet meters?   m/s^2.

So meters = (meters/s^2) * s^2
