Problem

A 2 kg2\,\text{kg} block initially at rest is pushed along a smooth horizontal surface by a constant horizontal force of 10 N10\,\text{N} through a distance of 5 m5\,\text{m}. Find the speed of the block after it has moved 5 m5\,\text{m}. (a) 5 m s−15\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} (b) 14.1 m s−114.1\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} (c) 7.1 m s−17.1\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} (d) 10 m s−110\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}
