Its 37.5m
Using the third equation of motion proposed by Newton, i.e.
v 2 u 2 = 2 a s
For this problem :
Final velocity (v) = 10 m/s
Initial velocity (u) = 5 m/s
Constant Acceleration (a) = Δ v / Δ t = ( 10 5 ) 5
Hence a = 1 m / s 2
Substituting these values in the equation :
10 2 5 2 = 2 *(1) s
75 = 2s
s=37.5
