Answer:
40m
Explanation:
let's calculate the acceleration first
force = mass × acceleration
rearranging to find acceleration:
acceleration = force ÷ mass
force = 25N, mass = 5.0kg
acceleration = 25 ÷ 5 = 5ms^-2
we can now use the formula v^2 = u^2 + 2as where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration and s = distance
rearranging v^2 = u^2 + 2as the distance is
s = (v^2 - u^2) ÷ 2a
v = 20, u = 0, a = 5
s = (20^2 - 0^2) ÷ (2 × 5) = 40m
the distance is 40m
