A car accelerates (at a constant acceleration) from a velocity of 25m/s to 34m/s in 6s. Calculate the cars acceleration.

Acceleration is defined as

A = change in velocity / time,

For this example

A = (34-25 )/ 6 = 9/6 = 1.5 m/s^2

A force is applied to a box of mass 2kg so that is accelerates at 2ms^-2. Find the force acting on the box and thus calculate the work done in moving the box 10m in the direction of the force.
