An object having a velocity 4.0 m/s is accelerated at the rate of `1.2 m/s^2` for 5.0s. Find the distance travelled during the period of acceleration.

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the kinematic equation for uniformly accelerated motion. The equation we will use is:

\[ S = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \]

Where:
- \( S \) = distance travelled
- \( u \) = initial velocity
- \( a \) = acceleration
