Method 1 (mass is irrelevant):
50N acting for 10s is an impulse of 500Ns, giving the object a momentum of 500kgm/s.
To lose this much momentum and return to stationary requires an opposing impulse of 500Ns.
To occur in 5s this requires a force of 100N.
Method 2:
F=ma gives an initial acceleration of 25m/s2.
The SUVAT expression v=u+at gives a speed of 250m/s.
In order to stop in 5s, v=u+at shows an acceleration of 50m/s2 is required.
F=ma gives a required force of 100N.
