Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the football player, m = 92 kg
Velocity of player, v = 5 m/s
Time taken, t = 10 s
(1) We need to find the original kinetic energy of the player. It is given by :


k = 1150 J
In two significant figure, 
(2) We know that work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Work done per unit time is called power of the player. We need to find the average power required to stop him. So, his final velocity v = 0
i.e. 

P = 115 watts
In two significant figures, 
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
3rd order polynomial
Explanation:
Given that the increase in the order of the polynomial the error between the curve fit and measured data will decreases hence :
The polynomial order that is best to use is the 3rd order polynomial, this is because using a 3rd order polynomial will produce a less variance and a low Bias
