Answer:
25 m/s
Explanation:
First of all, we can find the acceleration the object by using Newton's second law of motion:
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
where
F = 20.0 N is the net force applied on the object
m = 4.0 kg is the mass of the object
a is its acceleration
Solving for a, we find
[tex]a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{20}{4}=5.0 m/s^2[/tex]
Now we know that the motion of the object is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find its final velocity by using the following suvat equation:
[tex]v=u+at[/tex]
where
v is the final velocity
u = 0 is the initial velocity
[tex]a=5.0 m/s^2[/tex] is the acceleration
t = 5 s is the time
By substituting,
[tex]v=0+(5.0)(5)=25 m/s[/tex]
