Solution

The correct options are
A

3N


D

-30N


Given: Initial velocity, u=10 ms1, final velocity v=2 ms1 (The negative sign indicates that final velocity is opposite to the direction of the initial velocity) and time, t=4 s.

Using the first equation of motion:
v=u+ata=vut=2104
a=3 ms2

Using Newton's second law of motion:
F=m×a=1×(3)=3 Newtons
Therefore, the magnitude of force is 3N, and the negative sign indicates that the direction of force is opposite to that of initial velocity.
