Finding distance given Force equation

Hi, I'm stuck on a question so i hope someone can help.

An object of mass 42.5kg is on a frictionless surface. A force is applied, where;

F(t)=15.4t.

How far does the object travel in 4.75s.

Thank you.
Hi, you can write F=m(d^2x/dt^2)=15.4t and integrate. You need to know the initial velocity as well though.
