When a force of 6 N is applied to a block of 2 kg mass, it moves along a horizontal surface at constant speed.?

(i) What is the force of friction?

[Answer: 6N]

(ii) When the force is increased to 10 N, what is the acceleration? 

[Answer: 2 m/s2]

(iii) What is the speed, if it accelerates from rest for 10 s?

[Answer: 20 m/s]

Can someone show me how to do these questions please?

    When a force F = 6 N is applied to a block m = 2 kg , it moves along a horizontal surface at constant speed

    (i) What is the force of friction FF ?

    FF = module of F = 6 N with opposite versus 

    (ii) When the force F is increased to F' = 10 N, what is the acceleration?  

    a = (F'-FF)/m = (10-6)/2 = 2.0 m/sec^2 

    (iii) What is the speed V, if it accelerates from rest for 10 s?

    V = a*t = 2.0*10 = 20 m/sec
