Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

initial velocity u = 20 m /s

final velocity v = 36 m /s

time taken t = 4 s .

acceleration = (v - u) / t

= (36 - 20) / 4

a = 4 m / s ²

from the formula

v² - u² = 2 a s , s is distance covered .

putting the values

36² - 20² = 2 x 4 x s

1296 - 400 = 8 x s

s = 112 m .
