Detailed Solution

Given ,

F = 100N

Mass m = 10gm

we know that,

work done= change in kinetic energy,

$F \times x = \frac{1}{2} {mv}^{2} \Rightarrow v = \sqrt{\frac{2 Fx}{m}} \Rightarrow v = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 100 \times \frac{8}{100}}{\frac{10}{100}}} = 40 m / s$

Hence the correct answer is 40m/s.
