Question

Here is one of my questions from my physics study. It tells me the answer (35 J), but how do I find that answer? I would appreciate a formula or step by step calculation. Thanks! :)

A 30 kg kid on rollerskates is moving 1 m/s. His brother pushes him with a force of 5 N. What will be his kinetic energy after his brother pushes him 4.0 m? (35 J)

Answer 1

Efinal= 1/2mvi^2+fd

Answer 2

Thanks! That works and makes sense. :)
