Final velocity is equal to initial plus acceleration multiplied by time
Vf = Vi + at
Vf = (15m/s) + (5m/s^2)(5s)
Vf = 15m/s + 25m/s
Vf = 40m/s

This is straight from the kinematic equations. If you can’t solve a simple problem like this, I suggest tryin to study it a bit more. You’re gonna have trouble if you can’t dissect a word problem
