Answer:
1000 N
Explanation:
First, we need to find the deceleration of the running back, which is given by:

where
v = 0 is his final velocity
u = 5 m/s is his initial velocity
t = 0.5 s is the time taken
Substituting, we have

And now we can calculate the force exerted on the running back, by using Newton's second law:

so, the magnitude of the force is 1000 N.
When an object is falling and reaches a constant velocity, the net force on the object is <em>zero</em> (it's not accelerating), and the weight of the object is equal to <em>the force of air resistance against the object</em>. (choice-D)
Hey there!
There's many ways to do it - like melting and evaporating.
For example, we'll use water. Plain old water in a water bottle. Right now, it's in its liquid state of matter, but say you put it in the freezer for an hour. That would change its state of matter to solid, since it would be solid ice. Now, if you were to put it out in the sun on a blazing hot day for a couple of hours, it would evaporate and become water vapor, a gas. Lastly, if you can cool that water vapor it becomes a liquid again.
Hope this helps!
