- The equation for the motion of an object with constant acceleration is d= do + vt + at, where d is distance from a given point in meters, do is the initial distance from the starting point in meters, v is the starting velocity in meters per second, a is acceleration in meters per second squared, and t is time in seconds. A car is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green, the driver begins to drive, accelerating at a constant rate of 4 meters squared. A bus is traveling at a speed of 15 meters per second in another lane. The bus is 7 meters behind the car as it begins to accelerate. per second Find when the bus passes the car, when the car passes the bus, and how far each has traveled each time they pass one another. it lad wodarrow_forwardThe velocity - time graph of the journey of a person is shown in the attached graph.
