A discus thrower exerts an average force of 1100 N against the discus while the discus moves through a displacement of 0.7 m in the direction of this force. The mass of the discus was 2 kg. Assume that the initial velocity was 0 m/s, there was no deformation of the discus as the force was applied, and there was no change in vertical position of the discus as the force was applied. What was the final velocity of the discus in the horizontal plane?
