To determine how far a car will travel in one minute with constant acceleration, we need to know the value of the acceleration. Let's assume the car has a constant acceleration of "a" meters per second squared.

We can use the kinematic equation:

d = v₀t + (1/2)at²

Where: d is the distance traveled, v₀ is the initial velocity (which is zero in this case since the car starts at rest), t is the time in seconds, and a is the constant acceleration.

Given that the car starts at rest, v₀ = 0. We are interested in finding the distance traveled in one minute, which is equivalent to 60 seconds (t = 60).

Plugging in the values, the equation becomes:

d = 0(60) + (1/2)a(60)²

Simplifying further:

d = 0 + 1800a

Therefore, the car will travel a distance of 1800a meters in one minute with a constant acceleration of "a" meters per second squared.

Please note that the actual distance traveled will depend on the specific value of the acceleration "a" in your scenario.
