Answer:

v=u+a t ..........(1)

where

v is the final velocity after time t and u is the initial velocity.

Inserting given vales we get

0.01=0+a×5⇒a=0.015=0.002ms−2

Now using the following expression to calculate force

F=m a we get F=0.05×0.002=0.0001=104N

hope this helps you have a good day and stay safe :)
