To solve this problem, we will use the formula: F = m * a, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
Given: F = 20 N (Newtons) a = 0.5 m (meters)
First, we need to find the mass (m).
Using the formula: F = m * a, m = F / a.
Now, substituting the given values: m = 20 N / 0.5 m = 40 kg.
Next, we need to find the distance traveled (d).
Using the formula: d = (1/2) * a * t^2, where d is the distance, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
Now, substituting the given values: d = (1/2) * 0.5 m * (2 s)^2 = 0.5 m * 4 s^2 = 2 m.
Therefore, with a force of 20 N, an acceleration of 0.5 m, and a time of 2 seconds, the distance traveled is 2 meters.
