    Given that,

    Block of mass M = 6kg

    Initially at rest u = 0

    A force F = 12N is used in pulling it along the horizontal

    Distance moved s = 3m

    Speed.

    Using Newton second law

    ΣFx = ma

    12 = 6a

    Then, a = 12/6

    a = 2m/s²

    Then, using equation of motion

    v² = u² + 2as

    v² = 0² + 2*2*3

    v² = 0 + 12

    v = √ 12

    v = 3.46 m/s
