    By definition we have that the force for time is equal to the product of the mass for the change in speed.

    We have then that

    F * (delta t) = m * (delta v)

    Clearing the mass

    m = (F * (delta t)) / (delta v)

    Substituting the values

    m = ((3.00) * (4.00)) / (7.50-6.00) = 8

    answer

    The mass of the moving object is 8Kg

    We know the relation between force and mass and acceleration follows this relation: F = m * a

    And we can calculate the acceleration as:

    Vf = Vi + a * t

    where Vf is final speed, Vi is initial speed, a is acceleration and t is time

    7.5 = 6 + a * 4

    7.5 - 6 = a * 4

    1.5 / 4 = a

    a = 0.375 m2/s

    The the mass is F = m * a 3 = m * 0.375 m = 8

    Then the mass is 8 kg
