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, we will use the second equation of motion, which relates initial velocity, acceleration, time, and displacement. The equation is given by:

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

Where:
- \( s \) = distance travelled
