Solution

Solution: 1 Mark per step

Step 1:
Given, force, F=20 N, mass, m=4 kg, initial velocity u=0 and time, t=5 s.
Let acceleration be a.
According to Newton's second law, F=ma.
So, a=Fm=204=5 m s2

Step 2:
Let the final velocity acquired by the body be v.
v=u+at
v=0+5×5=25 m s1

Step 3:
Momentum =mv=25×4=100 kg m s1
