Answer:

A) F=650N

B) W=0J

C) \Delta K=292.5J

Explanation:

A) Considering the equation v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad, we can calculate:

F=ma=m\frac{v_f^2}{2d}=(65kg)\frac{(3m/s)^2}{2(0.45m)}=650N

B) The work the wall does is 0J, because the fingers of the scater against it do not move. It's the muscles on his arm that do the work.

C)\Delta K=K_f-K_i=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}=\frac{(65kg)(3m/s)^2}{2}-\frac{(65kg)(0m/s)^2}{2}=292.5J
