Problem

A block is pulled along a smooth horizontal surface. Use the data given to solve the following. a. (i) A constant horizontal force of 20 N20\,\text{N} is applied to a 4 kg4\,\text{kg} block initially at rest. Calculate the acceleration produced. b. (ii) The force continues to act over a distance of 10 m10\,\text{m}. Find the speed of the block at the end of this distance. c. (iii) Determine the work done by the force during the 10 m10\,\text{m} displacement. d. (iv) Calculate the kinetic energy gained by the block and verify whether it equals the work calculated in part (iii).
