Question

A small child pulls their 3.0 kg toy duck 2.8 m along the ground using a string held at an angle of 5.5° above horizontal. If the duck began at rest and has a speed of 3.46 m/s after this pull, what was the tension (in N) in the string used to pull the duck? Assume the frictional force acting in the system is negligible. Your Answer:
