Problem

A box of mass 12 kg12\ \text{kg} is pushed from rest in a straight line along a frictionless surface. The box is pushed with a constant horizontal force of 36 N36\ \text{N} for 5 s5\ \text{s}. (1) Calculate the acceleration of the box. (2) Calculate the speed of the box after 5 s5\ \text{s}. (3) Calculate the work done on the box during the 5 s5\ \text{s} period.
