Is the answer is right?

A100 kg running back runs at 5m/s into a stationary linebacker. it takes 0.5 for the running back to be completely stopped

What are two different ways you could find the value of a? explain these methods.

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)
