The work done by the friction force to stop the player is equal to his loss of kinetic energy:

The work done by the friction force is the magnitude of the force

times the distance covered by the player, d:

The loss in kinetic energy is simply equal to the initial kinetic energy of the player, since the final kinetic energy is zero (the player comes to rest):

Substituting into the first equation, we get:

from which we find d, the distance covered by the player:
In a level cruise on a passenger airliner, flying in a straight line at a steady 550 miles per hour.
Acceleration is zero.
