    Force of 6250N is required to slow down the body to zero.

    Explanation:

    Speed (V) = 20m/s

    Initial speed (u) = 0m/s

    Mass (M) = 1000kg

    Time (t) = 3.2seconds

    Using first equation of motion to find the acceleration of the body:

    V=U + at

    20m/s=0 + a*3.2s

    Therefore, a = (20m/s) / 3.2s

    a=6.25m/s^2

    To find the force required to stop the body or get it down to zero:

    Force (F) = mass x acceleration

    F = (1000kg) * (6.25m/s^2)

    F=6250N.

    Therefore a force of 6250N is required to slow it down.
