Initially the body starts it’s motion from rest therefore u = 0.
let this journey be A, when accelaration due to earth is acting on the body.
time = 5seconds. Let’s find v
v= u+ at
= 0 + 9.8 x 5
=49m/s
 
when accelaration stops acting, the velocity of the body is 49m/s
now the distance travelled by the body in the next 3s is
 
s= ut + 1/2gt2
  = 49 x 3 + ½ x 0 x t2
   = 49 x 3
 
147m
