Distance traveled is a function of speed and time and is given as their product. That is,
distance = speed x time
Here, the velocity of Harry's magic broom is given as 6 m/s and he flies for a total duration of 1 sec. Thus, the distance flown by Harry on his magic broom is:
distance traveled = speed x time = 6 m/s x 1 s = 6 m.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity and is given as:
acceleration = dv/dt = `(v_2 - v_1)/(t_2 - t_1)`
where, v1 and v2 are the velocities at time t1 and t2. Here, harry's magic broom is flying at a constant velocity, that is, the velocity stays constant. And hence, the acceleration of Harry's magic broom is 0 m/s^2.
Hope this helps.
