Calculate Distance of 5Kg Object on Frictional Surface: Matt's Help

[Physics258744]

the problem is i have an object which has a mass of 5Kg it is on a frictional Surface a force of 15n acts on it which accelerates it to 12ms-1 i don't even know where to start to work out the distance i was thinking could you rearrange A= V-U divided by t (sorry it won't let me do the proper equation)


Into T= (V+U) x A
to work to work out time so i can put it into the Distance, Speed Time Triangle.
but
the answer 144 doesn't seem right am i doing it right or just going totality wrong ?

Thanks for your help in advance Matt

Welcome to PF.

Here are some equations that may address your interest in kinematics.

From your force equation you know acceleration is 3m/s
Your final velocity is 12?

V² = 2*a*x
