1 A particle of mass 0.2 kg moving in a straight line experiences a constant resistance force of 1.5 N . When the particle is moving at speed \(2.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), a constant force of magnitude \(F \mathrm {~N}\) is applied to it in the direction in which it is moving. Given that the speed of the particle 5 seconds later is \(4.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), find the value of \(F\).
