Newton's Second Law of Motion states, “The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration.” We calculate as follows:

F = ma =40.0 kg (- 3.80 m/s^2) = -152 J

NOTE: It has a negative sign due to the direction of acceleration.
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
