Homework Statement
As simple as the question may seem, I require some honest help. I'm particularly new to physics.
The question is the following:
A net force of magnitude 4.0N acts on a body of mass 3.0kg for 6.0 s. The body is initially at rest.
Which of the following is the speed of the body after the 6.0s interval?
Homework Equations
a = Fnet / m
Fnet = m • a
1 Newton = 1 kg • m/s^2
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
I came across this question while browsing some IB tests online for High Level physics and decided to try to solve some of them. Looking at this one, I researched the equations necessary but can't find out how to calculate a net force using only force exerted, mass, and time. On the other hand, I can solve it with both mass and acceleration.
Any tips or equations I haven't found yet? Thank you.
