how long would it take for a resultant upward force of hundred Newton to increase the speed of 50 kg object from hundred metre per second to 150 metre per second?​

To answer this question, two equations are needed.

F = m * a (force = mass * accelaration)

Vf =Vi + (a * t) (final velocity = initial velocity + (accelaration * time)

Knowing that the force is 100 N and the mass is 50 kg we can use the first equation to solve for the acceleration which would be 2 m/s^2.

Plugging in all we know to the second equation we get:

150 m/s = 100 m/s + (2 m/s^2 * t)

This gives us t = 25 seconds
