<h3>Answer:</h3>
375 N
<h3>Explanation:</h3>Topic tested: Newton's Law of motion
The question is testing on the application of Newton's second Law of motion.
We are given;
- Mass of the football = 5 Kg
- Initial velocity of the football, Vf = 15 m/s
- Time taken to bring the ball to rest = 0.2 s
- Final velocity, Vo = 0 m/s ( since the ball went to rest)
We are required to determine the force exerted to bring it to rest.
- According to the Newton's second law of motion the resultant force and rate of change in momentum are directly proportion.
- Therefore;
Thus;
Force = 375 N
Hence, the force exerted on the ball by the receiver was 375 N
