Answer:

The force is 3305.6 N.

Explanation:

Final velocity, v = 0

time, t = 2.25 ms

initial velocity, u = 4.25 m/s

mass, m = 1.75 kg

Let the acceleration is a.

Use first equation of motion.

v = u + a t

0 = 4.25 + a x 0.00225

a = - 1888.9 m/s^2

The force is

F = ma

F = 1.75 x 1888.9

F = 3305.6 N
