Answer:

I. Final velocity, V = 10m/s.

II. Distance, S = 10m.

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Acceleration = 5m/s²

Time = 2 seconds

Since the vehicle starts from rest, initial velocity = 0m/s

To find the final velocity, we would use the first equation of motion.

V = U + at

Substituting into the equation, we have

V = 0 + 5*2

V = 0 + 10

V = 10m/s.

Now, to find the distance covered, we would use the second equation of motion.

S = ut + ½at²

S = 0*2 + ½*5*2²

S = ½*5*4

S = 20/2

S = 10m
