v=25ms1

Explanation:

m=1500kg
v0=15ms1
F1=1000N
t=15s

Before a force acting on it, the object is at constant velocity (assuming no other forces is acting on it: eg. friction), thus
NetF=0

After a force acting on it, the object experiences a net force of same magnitude as the applied force.
F=ma
1000=1500a
a=23ms2

v=v0+at
v=15+2315
v=15+10
v=25ms1

Its velocity will be 25m/s

Explanation:

We can use two known equations to solve this problem.
These are
F=ma
v=u+at

Lets substitute the values
F=1000N
m=1500 kg
then we have a=Fm=10001500 =2/3 m/s2

Also
u=15 m/s
t=15 s
so that v=u+at=15+2315=15+10=25s
