Answer

The work done on the object by the force is $~~100~J$

Work Step by Step

We can find the kinetic energy at the end of the 3.0 second interval: $K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ $K_f = \frac{1}{2}(2.0~kg)(10~m/s)^2$ $K_f = 100~J$ Since the object was initially at rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero. We can find the work done on the object by the force: $W = K_f-K_i$ $W = 100~J-0$ $W = 100~J$ The work done on the object by the force is $~~100~J$.
