Answer

See explanation.

Work Step by Step

Acceleration is constant \[ a=a(t) \] Velocity is an integral part of the acceleration \[ \begin{array}{l} v(t)=\int a(t) d t=\int a d t=a t+C \\ v(0)=v_{0}=C \end{array} \] So $v_{0}+a t=v(t)$ The position is the integral of the velocity \[ \begin{array}{l} s(t)=\int v(t) d t=v_{0} t+\frac{a}{2} t^{2}+C \\ s(0)=s_{0}=C \end{array} \] So $s(t)=s_{0}+v_{0} t+\frac{a}{2} t^{2}$
