The distance fravelled by the car in first $2$ seconds $=$ Area of $\Delta ABE$

$=1 / 2 \times AE \times BE$

$=1 / 2 \times 2 \times 15=15 m$

Mass of the car $=1000\, kg$

$F=m \times a,$ where $a=$ slope of the graph $CD$

$a=\frac{0-15}{6-5}=\frac{-15}{1}=-15 m s ^{-2}$

$F =m \times a=1000 \times-15=-15000 N$
