A large guinea pig weighing 2 kg is riding a skateboard horizontally at a speed of 25 m/s. Then, a force causes the guinea pig to decelerate in the horizontal direction at a constant rate of 3 m/s^2 until it comes to rest. For this problem, neglect friction, air resistance, and the mass of the skateboard.
a) Determine the force on the guinea pig, in N, that caused it to come to rest.
b) Find the amount of energy transfer by work, in kJ
c) Find the total distance traveled by the guinea pig during its deceleration.
