Homework Statement



65. A 50-N force is the only force on a 2-kg object that starts from rest. When the force has been
acting for 2 s the rate at which it is doing work is:
A. 75W
B. 100W
C. 1000W
D. 2500W
E. 5000W
ans: D

66. A 50-N force is the only force a 2-kg crate that starts from rest. At the instant the object has
gone 2m the rate at which the force is doing work is:
A. 2.5W
B. 25W
C. 75W
D. 100W
E. 500W

Q1 solved but i have no idea how to do the second one!

Look up the standard equations of motion (SUVAT). Some are more useful for problems involving time (eg Q1) and others for displacement (Q2).

Perhaps this one...

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

where s = displacement
