Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

\(m=4.56kg;t=16s;v_1=(10ms^{-1},060^o);v_2=(50ms^{-1},060^o)\)

Notice that there is no change in the direction of the velocity

So,we don't need to write it in a vector form

\(a=\frac{∆v}{t}=\frac{50 - 10}{16}\)

\(a=\frac{40}{16}=2.5ms^{-2}\)

F = ma = 4.56 x 2.5

∴ F = 11.4 N
