20% would be probably right cuz 100% is total and 80+ what gives u 100 which is 20
F = ma
We have mass = 20kg
And we need to solve for acceleration
So acceleration is change in velocity over time, in this case we have one velocity and we can assume the man started from rest so
12.3 / 0.9 = a
a = 13.6667
Now we can plug that into F = ma
F = (20)(13.6667)
F = 273.334
Rounding
F = 273.33
Now he is traveling east so we need a force towards the rest, or in the opposite direction to stop his motion.
If we assume east is the positive direction then we need a force of
-273.33 N to stop the man or 273.33 towards the west.
It hink that it is the 2nd one
