Let`s first calculate the acceleration using the formula s=ut+1/2at².Acceleration comes up to be 2m/sec².Now again using the formula s=ut+1/2 at² we calculate the total distance travelled in 15 seconds.The total distance travelled comes up to be 225m.Hence finally the distance travelled in the next 5seconds will be 125 m.
