1. Understanding the Problem:
* Force (F): 10 N (Newtons)
* Mass (m): 10 kg (kilograms)
* Initial Velocity (v₀): 0 m/s (at rest)
* Time (t): 5 s (seconds)
2. Applying Newton's Second Law:
Newton's Second Law of Motion states: Force (F) = Mass (m) * Acceleration (a)
We can rearrange this to find acceleration:
Acceleration (a) = Force (F) / Mass (m)
* a = 10 N / 10 kg = 1 m/s²
3. Finding Final Velocity (v):
We can use the following equation of motion:
Final Velocity (v) = Initial Velocity (v₀) + Acceleration (a) * Time (t)
* v = 0 m/s + (1 m/s²) * (5 s)
* v = 5 m/s
Answer: The speed of the box after 5 seconds is 5 m/s.
