At a certain moment of time, a force whose modulus is equal to 12 N began to act on a body

At a certain moment of time, a force whose modulus is equal to 12 N began to act on a body at rest in IFR with a mass of 4 kg. Find the path traversed by the body in the first 2 s after the start of the action of the force.

Problem data: m (mass of a body at rest) = 4 kg; V0 (initial speed) = 0 m / s; F (the force that began to act on the body) = 12 N; t (time after the start of the force) = 2 s.

The path that the body will pass in 2 s after the force is applied to it is determined by the formula: S = V0 * t + a * t ^ 2/2 = 0 + (F / m) * t ^ 2/2 = F * t ^ 2 / 2m.

Calculation: S = 12 * 2 ^ 2 / (2 * 4) = 6 m.

Answer: The body will travel a path equal to 6 m.
