Newtons applied to a constant velocity

[JohnnyB212]

Homework Statement

A 1.0 kg object, moving with a constant velocity of 2.0 m/s, is acted upon by a force of 15 N in the direction of the motion for 6.0 s. What is the velocity (in meters/second) of the object at the end of this time?

Homework Equations

I was thinking of using, V = Vo + at but at the same time it doesn't make sense to me in finding the solution



help!

You are thinking correctly. You are trying to find V, you know V0, and you know t. You now just need to find 'a' from Newton's 2nd law.
