Worksheet on Work done by a constant force

An iceboat of mass M = 250 kg sits motionless on a frozen lake. A steady wind starts to blow from the West, pushing the boat with a constant force F = 150 N. The boat slides without friction due East a distance D = 100 m.

How fast is the boat moving when it reaches the point marked "X"?
