Yea. So if we need <<2s turnaround time we have to use a higher force. 5219N takes 2s and 104m to turn the mass around.

100,000N?

a=F/m
a=-100,000N / 100kg
a=-1000m/s^2

time = (change in v) /a
time to stop = -52.2m/s / (-1000m/s^2)
time to stop = 0.0522s

distance to stop = -1/2 a t^2
distance to stop = 1.36m
