Answer:
the distance moved by the puck after 2.5 s is 7.8 m
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the puck, m = 2 kg
initial velocity of the puck, u = 0
applied force, F = 5 N
time of motion, t = 1.5 s
Acceleration of the puck is calculated from Newton's second law of motion;
F = ma
a = F/m
a = 5/2
a = 2.5 m/s²
The distance moved by the puck after 2.5 s is calculated as;
s = ut + ¹/₂at
s = 0 + ¹/₂at²
s = ¹/₂at²
s = 0.5 x 2.5 x (2.5)²
s = 7.8 m
Therefore, the distance moved by the puck after 2.5 s is 7.8 m
