Problem

A mass of 600 g600\,\mathrm{g} moving at 3.0 m s−13.0\,\mathrm{m\,s^{-1}} horizontally experiences a force of 180 N180\,\mathrm{N} in the same direction as its travel. The mass accelerates to a speed of 4.5 m s−14.5\,\mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}. Calculate the time for which the force acted on the mass.
