Detailed Solution

Momentum = mass × velocity p = mu

or  u = pm = 8 kg ms-14 kg = 2 ms-1

Acceleration = ForceMass

a = 0.2 N4 kg = 0.05 ms-2

Distance travelled by the body in 10 s is

d = ut + 12at2

    = (2 ms-1)(10 s)+12(0.05 ms-2)(10 s)2

    = 20 m + 2.5 m = 22.5 m

Work done, W = Fd = (0.2 N)(22.5 m) = 4.5 J

According to work-energy theorem

Increase in kinetic energy = Work done = 4.5 J
