Mass of boy = 100 kg
Initial velocity = 10 m/s
Final velocity = 0 m/s (rest)
Distance travelled = 100 m
We know,
2a∆x = v(f)² - v(i)²
⇒ a = - v(i)²/2∆x
⇒ a = - (10 m/s)²/(2 × 100 m)
⇒ a = - (100 m²/s²)/(200 m)
⇒ a = - ½ m/s²
⇒ a = - 0.5 m/s².
Now we know, F = ma
⇒ F = (100 kg)(- 0.5 m/s²)
⇒ F = - 50 N.
∴ He exerted a force of 50 N in the opposite direction of it's motion.
