Correct Option: B
Here's how to solve the problem:
-
Calculate acceleration (a): Use Newton's second law, F = ma. Therefore, a = F/m = 12 N / 4 kg = 3 m/s².
-
Calculate the final velocity (v): Use the equation of motion v = u + at, where u (initial velocity) is 0 m/s (since the body starts from rest). So, v = 0 + (3 m/s² * 3 s) = 9 m/s.
-
Calculate kinetic energy (KE): Use the formula KE = (1/2)mv². Therefore, KE = (1/2) * 4 kg * (9 m/s
