Answer: 57.434 Nm
Explanation: mass of object = 1.3kg, initial speed = 0m/s ( since it was at rest), final speed = 9.4 m/s.
Using the work energy theorem,
The work done on the object equals it kinetic energy.
Work done = mv²/2
Work done = 1.3 ×( 9.4 – 0)²/2
Work done = 1.3 × 9.4² / 2
Work done = 114.868 / 2 = 57.434 Nm
