Answer:

A.) 12.5 J

B.) 12.5 J

C.) 7.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a 0.5 kg object, initially at rest, is pulled to the right along a frictionless horizontal surface by a constant horizontal force of 25 N for a distance of 0.5m.

a. What is the work done by the force?

Work done = force × distance

Work done = 25 × 0.5

Work done = 12.5 J

b. What is the change in the kinetic energy of the block?

Work done = energy

Change in Kinetic energy = work done

Change in kinetic energy = 12.5 J

c. What is the speed of the block after the force is removed?

Kinetic energy = 1/2mV^2

12.5 = 1/2 × 0.5 × V^2

25 = 0.5V^2

V^2 = 25/0.5

V^2 = 50

V = 7.1 m/s
