A constant force pushes a block along a horizontal frictionless surface. The block moves from rest through a fixed distance. What is the relationship between the final speed $v$ of the block and its mass $m$?
- A$\sqrt{v} \propto \dfrac{1}{m}$
- B$v \propto \sqrt{m}$
- C$v \propto \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{m}}$
- D$\sqrt{v} \propto m$
