Skating into a railing. A 110 kg ice hockey player skates at 3.00 m/s toward a railing at the edge of the ice and then stops himself by grasping the railing with outstretched arms. During this stopping process, the playerβs torso moves 30.0 cm toward the railing. (a) What is the change in the kinetic energy of the center of mass during the stop? (b) What average force is exerted on the railing?
