Answer:
The correct answer is;
The magnitude of the force is 35.12 N
Explanation:
To solve the question, we note that the friction is zero and the force causes motion of a stationary mass
One of the equations of motion is required such as
v² = u² + 2× a× s
Where
v = Final velocity = 5.93 m/s
u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s , object at rest
a = acceleration
s = distance moved = 32 meters
But v = Distance/Time = 32 m /5.4 s = 5.93 m/s
Therefore
5.93² = 2×a×32
or a = 35.12/ 64 = 0.55 m/s²
Therefore Force F = Mass m × Acceleration a
Where mass m = 64 kg
Therefore F = 64 kg×0.55 m/s² = 35.12 N
