What is the formula for distance traveled as a function of time when an object is subject to constant acceleration?

d(t)=Vi(t)+((1/2)(a*t^2))
I just can't find anywhere to explain where that 1/2 constant comes from.

What is the formula for distance traveled with constant acceleration?
If the car begins with zero speed, thenDistance = 1/2 (acceleration) x (time)2
Formula for distance traveled?
There is not enough information to answer the question. The answer depends onis the object travelling at constant velocity?is the acceleration constant?If it is an object travelling with constant acceleration, which three of the following four variables are knows: initaial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and time.
For a car traveling at a constant rate of 60 mph the distance traveled is a function of the time traveled. how do i express this relation as a function?
D = 60T where T is expressed in hours.
How do you calculate tota distance traveled when given velocity time and acceleration?
Assuming constant acceleration: distance = v(0) t + (1/2) a t squared Where v(0) is the initial velocity.
If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?
no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared
When the body starts from rest and attain velocity v in time t with a constant acceleration the distance traveled by the body is?
d = 1/2 a t2 where d is distance traveled a is the constant acceleration t is the time You can calculate the value of "a" by dividing "v" by "t".

If a body dropped from rest has a constant acceleration in free fall is the distance traveled by the body the same for each time interval?
No. Acceleration is the rate at which the speed is INCREASING. Since the speed is increasing,the distance traveled by the body in each time interval is also increasing.
How do you calculate tota distance traveled when given velocity time and acceleration?
Assuming constant acceleration: distance = v(0) t + (1/2) a t squared Where v(0) is the initial velocity.
Is the total distance traveled divided by constant speed eual constant speed?
No. The total distance traveled divided by constant speed is the time interval.
What is mathematical formula for calculating acceleration?
Acceleration=Speed1-speed2/Distance traveled
How do you find the distance given only the initial velocity traveled time and final velocity?
You can only know the distance for sure if acceleration or deceleration is constant. Add the start and end velocities and divide by two and then multiply by the time to get your distance.
If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?
no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared
Why does a curve on a distance-time indicate acceleration?
an increasing distance is traveled during each unit of time
What is the acceleration of a ball that is traveling at a constant velocity of fifty miles and has been traveling for over 2 minutes?
If an object is traveling at a constant velocity, its acceleration is 0. Even if it traveled for 2 years.
