Calculate the work required to be done to stop a car of 1500 kg moving at a velocity of 60 km/hr

Answer»

Solution :KINETIC energy, `E_(k) = 1/2 mv^(2)`
Where, Mass of car, m = 1500 kg
VELOCITY of car, v = 60 km/h = `60 xx 5/18 ms^(-1)`
Therefore Ek = `1/2 xx 1500 xx (60 xx 5/18)^(2)`
=`20.8 xx 10^(4) J`.
Hence, `20.8 xx 10^(4)` J of work is REQUIRED to stop the car.
