    That depends on how fast you want the speed to change from 10 m/s to 20 m/s. This is just another way of saying "what you want the acceleration to be".

    F = m A

    Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

    If you want the speed to change from 10 m/s to 20 m/s in 1 second, then

    Force = (20 kg) x (10 m/s²) = 200 Newtons

    If you can wait a whole day for the speed to change gradually, then

    Force = (20 kg) x (10 m/s) / (86,400 sec) = 0.00231 ... Newton

    - - 1000 Newtons will complete the change of speed in 0.2 second

    - - 3000 Newtons will complete the change of speed in 0.067 second

    - - 4000 Newtons will complete the change of speed in 0.05 second

    - - 100 Newtons will complete the change of speed in 2 seconds

    Even if you KNOW the required acceleration, none of the choices on the list can be the correct force, because ' j ' is not even a unit of force.
