Why does
x= 1/2(vo + v) t?
I understand that it is an "average" , but it is conflicting with my normal every day intuition. Let's say I drive 10 secs at a velocity of 10 m/s, and that my initial velocity was 0 m/s. My intuition tells me that I have traveled 100 m, but based on the equation above I would have traveled 50 m right?
For some reason I feel like I just asked a very stupid question lol.
