An applied force of 13 N east acts on a 6.5-kg block that is moving east at 2.5 m/s on a level, frictionless surface. What is the final speed
of the block if the force is applied for 2.1 s?
A. 1.7 m/s
B. 4.2 m/s
C. 6.7 m/s
D. 7.2 m/s

Answer 1

F = m a
13 = 6.5 a

a = 2 m/s²

Vf = Vi + a t
Vf = 2.5 + 2(2.1)
Vf = 2.5 + 4.2
Vf = 6.7 m/s

Answer is C
