Question
6. You push an object, initially at rest, across a frictionless floor with a constant force for a time interval t, resulting in a final speed of v for the object. You then repeat the experiment, but with a force that is twice as large. What time interval is now required to reach the same final speed v?

Answer:
t = t₀ / 2
Explanation:
In this exercise we must use Newton’s second law
F = m a
a = F / m
now we can use kinematics
as in object part of rest (v₀ = 0)
v =a t₀
t₀ = v / a
these results are with the first experiment
now repeat the experiment, but F = 2F₀
a = 2F₀ / m = 2 a₀
v = 2 a₀ t
t = v / 2a₀
t = t₀ / 2
