Answer 1

C) 40m/s [R]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 25 N [L]

Mass = 1 kg

Initial velocity = 0 m/s

Velocity = 10 m/s [R]

Time = 2 seconds

To find the final velocity;

First of all, we would determine the acceleration of the object.

Force = mass * acceleration

25 = 1 * acceleration

Acceleration = 25/1

Acceleration = 25 m/s²

Next, we would determine the final velocity by using the first equation of motion;

`V = U + at`

Where;

V is the final velocity.

U is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

`V = 0 + 25*2`

`V = 0 + 50`

V = 50 m/s

Final velocity = 50 - 10

Final velocity = 40 m/s [R]
