Answer:
692.31 N
Explanation:
Applying,
F = ma............... Equation 1
Where F = Average force required to stop the player, m = mass of the player, a = acceleration of the player
But,
a = (v-u)/t............ Equation 2
Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
F = m(v-u)/t............ Equation 3
From the question,
Given: m = 75 kg, u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (to stop), t = 0.65 s
Substitute these values into equation 3
F = 75(0-6)/0.65
F = -692.31 N
Hence the average force required to stop the player is 692.31 N
