Answer:
The distance is now 4d
Step-by-step explanation:
Mechanical Force
According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:
F = m.a
Where a is the acceleration of the object.
The acceleration can be calculated by solving for a:

Once we know the acceleration, we can calculate the distance traveled by the block as follows:

If the block starts from rest, vo=0:

Substituting the value of the acceleration:

Simplifying:

When a force F'=4F is applied and assuming the mass is the same, the new acceleration is:

And the distance is now:

Dividing d'/d:

Simplifying:

Thus:
d' = 4d
The distance is now 4d
