This uses the momentum equation, #F.t = m Deltav# and assumes that force remains constant throughout the interaction.

Incidentally, this equation is just a rearramhDeltangement of Newton’s 2nd law, and we’ll use it in the form #F = m(Delta v)/(Delta t)#

#F = 0.1 xx (50 - 0)/(5 xx 10^-3)#

#F = 1000# N

Average acceleration #bara=(Deltav)/t#
where #Deltav=#change in speed, and #t=#time

#bara=(50.0m//s)/(5.00*10^(-3)s)=1.00*10^4m//s^2#

Since average force #barF=m*bara#

#barF=0.100kg*1.00*10^4m//s^2=1.00*10^3kg*m//s^2=1.00*10^3N#
as #N-=kg*m//s^2# by definition
