Answer:

6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object  = 6kg

Initial velocity  = 5m/s

Final velocity  = 25m/s

Time  = 30s

Unknown:

Net force acting on the object  = ?

Solution:

From Newton's second law of motion:

   Force  = mass x acceleration

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time

  Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity }{time}[/tex]  

  Force  = mass x  [tex]\frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity }{time}[/tex]  

So;

 Force  = 6 x [tex]\frac{25 - 5}{30}[/tex]    = 6N
