    Answer:

    a\approx 0.56 \,\frac{m}{s^2}

    v_f=6.72\,\frac{m}{s}

    Explanation:

    This is a motion under constant acceleration, so we can use the kinematic equation for the distance covered:

    x_f-x_i=v_i\,t+\frac{1}{2} a\,t^2\\40=0+\frac{1}{2} a\,(12)^2\\40=72 \,a\\a=\frac{40}{72} \,\frac{m}{s^2} \\a\approx 0.56 \,\frac{m}{s^2}

    Now, the final velocity can be calculated via:

    v_f=v_i+a\,t\\v_f=0+0.56\,(12)\\v_f=6.72\,\frac{m}{s}
