Solution

The correct option is B 4 m

Given: Force F=25 N, mass m=2 kg, initial kinetic energy =100 J, final kinetic energy =200 J
change in kinetic energy =100 J
According to work-energy theorem, work done by the force will be equal to the change in kinetic energy of the body. The change in kinetic energy is equal to 100 J and this is the work done on the body.
As we know that:
Work done = Force × displacement.
Therefore, 100 = 25 × displacement.
So, displacement = 4 m.
