A worker applies a constant horizontal force of100 N to a block on a smooth horizontal surface. The frictional force is negligible. The block starts from rest and moves 8 m in 5 s. What is the mass of the block? If the worker stops pushing at the end of 5 s, how far does the block move in the next 5 s?
