Question

A force of 80 N is exerted on an object on a frictionless surface for a distance of 4 meters. If the object has a mass of 10 kg, calculate its velocity. v =

64 m/s
16 m/s
8 m/s
4 m/s

Answer 1

There are two ways to find energy. Energy=F*d=mv^2. We can use this relationship to find v:

`Fd=0.5mv^(2) \\ 80*4=0.5*10v^(2) \\ 64=v^(2) \\ v=8 m/s`
