Question

How long will it take a force of 5 N to increase the velocity of an object of mass 5 kg from 5 m/s to 20 m/s?
Options
A 7.5 s
B 15.0 s
Correct Answer
C 20.0 s
D 25.5 s
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Acceleration a = F/m = 5/5 = 1 m/s². Using v = u + at, 20 = 5 + 1×t => t = 15 s.

Hint

First find acceleration from Newton's second law, then use kinematic equation.
