You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Final velocity = Initial velocity + Acceleration x time
or mathematically
v = u + at
25 = 13 + 6a
25 - 13 = 13 + 6a - 13
12 = 6a
a = 2 m/s^2
v%5E2+=+u%5E2+%2B+2as S = the displacement (distance)
25%5E2+=+13%5E2+%2B+2%2A2%2As
625+=+169+%2B+4%2As
625+-+169+=+169+%2B+4%2As+-+169
456%2F4+=+4%2As%2F4
distance = 114 metres
