Answer:

Time, t = 2 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 50 kg

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s (since it's starting from rest).

Final velocity, v = 8 m/s

Force, F = 200 N

To find the time, we would use the following formula;

[tex] F = \frac {m(v - u)}{t} [/tex]

Making time, t the subject of formula, we have;

[tex] t = \frac {m(v - u)}{F} [/tex]

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] t = \frac {50(8 - 0)}{200} [/tex]

[tex] t = \frac {50*(8)}{200} [/tex]

[tex] t = \frac {400}{200} [/tex]

Time, t = 2 seconds
