To solve this problem, we need to calculate the distance traveled by the body in the first 5 seconds and the next 5 seconds.

Given: Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s (starting from rest) Final velocity, v = 20 m/s Time, t = 2 seconds (to reach the final velocity)

We can use the equation of motion for uniformly accelerated motion:

v = u + at

where: v = final velocity u = initial velocity a = acceleration t = time

Rearranging the equation, we get:

a = (v - u) / t

Substituting the given values:

a = (20 m/s - 0 m/s) / 2 s a = 10 m/s²

Now, we can calculate the distance traveled in the first 5 seconds. Since the body started from rest, we can use the following equation:

s = ut + (1/2)at²

where: s = distance traveled u = initial velocity t = time a = acceleration

Substituting the values:

s = 0 m/s * 5 s + (1/2)(10 m/s²)(5 s)² s = 0 + (1/2)(10 m/s²)(25 s²) s = (1/2)(10 m/s²)(25 s²) s = 125 m

Therefore, the distance traveled by the body in the first 5 seconds is 125 meters.

For the next 5 seconds, the body continues to move with a constant velocity of 20 m/s. The distance traveled during this time can be calculated using:

s = vt

where: s = distance traveled v = velocity t = time

Substituting the values:

s = 20 m/s * 5 s s = 100 m

Therefore, the distance traveled by the body in the next 5 seconds is 100 meters.
