To solve this problem we will use the kinematic formula for the final velocity.

The final speed is 0 at the moment the player stops.
The time until it stops is 1.3 s
The initial speed is 200 feet / s Note (check the speed units in the problem statement, 200ft / s is very much and 200ft / h is very small)
Then, we clear the formula.

Because the player is slowing down, the acceleration goes in the opposite direction to the player's movement, and that is why it is negative.
To answer part b) we use the following formula.

Answer:
5,000J
Explanation:
Work = Force x Distance
Distance back and forth is canceled out, so either the answer is + or -
5.0m + 5.0m = 10.0m
500N x 10.0m = 5,000J
The first choices are correct, because the second choices could happen by things other than light.
