3 m/s

B

18 m/s

C

9 m/s

D

6 m/s

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

6 m/s

Solution :

The correct option is 6 m/s.

Step 1: Identify the given quantities from the problem:
Mass of the object, m=3 kg
Initial velocity, u=0 m/s (since the object is initially at rest)
Applied force, F=9 N
Time duration, t=2 s

Step 2: Calculate the acceleration using Newton's Second Law of Motion:
Newton's second law states that force is the product of mass and acceleration (F=m×a).
Rearranging the formula to solve for acceleration (a):

a=Fm

Substitute the given values into the equation:

a=9 N3 kg=3 m/s2

Step 3: Calculate the final velocity using the first equation of motion:
The first equation of motion relates final velocity (v), initial velocity (u), acceleration (a), and time (t):

v=u+at

Substitute the known values:

v=0+(3 m/s2×2 s)

v=6 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the object after 2 seconds is 6 m/s.
