    (3) 690 N

    Explanation:

    Force: This is the product of mass and acceleration of a body. The S. I unit of force is Newton (N).

    The formula for force is given as,

    F = ma ... Equation 1

    Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

    Also,

    a = (v-u) / t ... Equation 2

    Where v = Final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

    Given: u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (bring to stop), t = 0.65 s.

    Substitute into equation 2

    a = (0-6) / 0.65

    a = - 6/0.65

    a = - 9.23 m/s²

    Also given: m = 75 kg

    Substitute again into equation 1

    F = 75 (-9.23)

    F = - 692.25 N

    The negative sign tells that the force oppose the motion of the player

    F ≈ 690 N

    Hence the right option is (3) 690 N
