Surfing For Physics Formulas For Velocity?

Robert asks…can I use a calculus position function in a physics problem about acceleration?yesterday i ran across a problem that said "a car is at rest and accelerates at 2 meters per second^2. how long does it take the care to go 30 meters?" The book used the physics formula and got 5.48 seconds, but i wanted to use my calculus skillz to figure it out. so i said that f''(x) is the acceleration function and f''(x)= 2x with x being time in seconds. Then I integrated that. f'(x)= x^2 (that
