Answer:

F=m x a

(F is force ,M is mass and A is acceleration)

in thisncase the Mass is given but we need to find ou the acceleration

Formula for acceleration-

a=(v - u)/t

(v is final velocity , u is initiatal velocity and t is time)

a = (0 - 80)/4

a= -80/4

a= -20

By substituting the values-

F= m x a

F= 1500 x -20

F=-30000N

Thus the force acted is -30000N

hope this helps
