Question

This is the first time I've done this type of problem and I'm totally lost, not sure what formula to use. If anyone could explain the steps I'd be able to understand it better.

Bryan is 10 meters away from the baseball diamond. Bryan sprints into action and starts accelerating towards the diamond at 2 meters/sec^2 for 5 seconds. What is Bryan's velocity at 5 seconds and what distance does Bryan run in 2 seconds?

Answer 1

formulas you will find useful here are

\[v = at\]and \[x = \frac{1}{2}at^2\]\(v\) is velocity
\(a\) is acceleration
\(t\) is time
\(x\) is distance

Answer 2

Would Bryan's velocity after 5 seconds be 10m/sec^2 and distance after 2 seconds be 4 meters? I'm just unsure of the ^2 at the end, whether I was supposed to drop it or keep it on.
