Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Block of mass M= 6kg
Initially at rest u =0
A force F = 12N is used in pulling it along the horizontal
Distance moved s = 3m
Speed.
Using Newton second law
ΣFx = ma
12 = 6a
Then, a = 12/6
a = 2m/s²
Then, using equation of motion
v² = u² + 2as
v² = 0² + 2×2×3
v² = 0 + 12
v = √ 12
v = 3.46 m/s
