Solution

The correct options are
A

3N


D

-30N


Initial velocity u= 10m/s
Final velocity v= -2 m/s (since this velocity is in opposite direction of the initial velocity which is taken as positive)
t= 4s
a=vuta=2104a=124=3m/s2F=m×aF=1×(3)=3 Newtons
Here the minus sign indicates that the direction of force was opposite to the direction of initial velocity. Also, the magnitude of force was 3N (magnitude is the absolute value).
