Retarding force,

F = –50 N

Mass of the body,

m = 20 kg

Initial velocity of the body,

u = 15 m/s

Final velocity of the body,

v = 0

Using Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration (a) produced in the body can be calculated as:

F = ma

=> –50 = 20 × a

=> a= -50/20 = -2.5 m/s^2

Using the first equation of motion, the time (t) taken by the body to come to rest can be calculated as:

v = u + at

=> t= -u/a = -15/-2.5= 6 sec.

I hope, this will help you
