A soccer player starts from rest and accelerates forward, reaching a velocity of 8.00 m/s in 2.50 s. (a) What was his average acceleration? (b) What average force did he exert backward on the ground to achieve this acceleration? The player's mass is 70.0 kg, and air resistance is negligible. Suppose we add a friction force of 25 N resisting the motion of the soccer player. How long will it take him to reach his top speed of 8.00 m/s? Option A 1.75 s Option B 2.50 s Option C 2.81 s Option D 3.50 s
