Problem

A 20 kg box initially at rest on a rough horizontal surface is pushed by a constant horizontal force of 150 N for 3.0 s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is 0.25. What is the speed of the box at the end of the 3.0 s interval? (a) 17 m/s17\ \text{m/s} (b) 15 m/s15\ \text{m/s} (c) 22.5 m/s22.5\ \text{m/s} (d) 12 m/s12\ \text{m/s}
