Correct question:
An object of mass 20 kg is moving with a velocity 15 m/s, its velocity increases to 35m/s on applying this content force continuosly for 5s.Calculate the acceleration and calculate the force applied.
Required Solution:
Given:
- Mass of the object (m) = 20kg
- Initial velocity (u) = 15m/s
- Final velocity (v) = 35m/s
- Time taken (t) = 5s
To calculate:
- Acceleration (a)
- Force applied (F)
Calculation:
We know that,
Therefore,acceleration of the object is -4m/s².
[Note : Negative sign implies that it is retardation.]
_______________________________
We know that,
Where,
F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration
Therefore,80N of force is applied on the object.

Correct version of the question is already given by @HealingPearl.
Mass of particle = 20 kg
Former velocity = 15 m/s
Final velocity = 15 m/s
Time = 5 s
We know,
a = (v - u)/t and F = m × a
a:-
a = (35 m/s - 15 m/s)/(5 s)
a = (20 m/s)/(5 s)
a = 4 m/s². (I)
F:-
F = ma
F = (20 kg)(4 m/s²)
F = 80 kg m/s²
F = 80 N. (II)
