A bus is moving and has 500000 joules of kinetic energy. The brakes are applied and the bus stops. How much work is needed to st

op the bus?
Physics
1 answer:
Bad White [126]3 years ago

For the work-energy theorem, the work needed to stop the bus is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:
W=K_f - K_i
where
W is the work
Kf is the final kinetic energy of the bus
Ki is the initial kinetic energy of the bus

Since the bus comes at rest, its final kinetic energy is zero: K_f = 0, so the work done by the brakes to stop the bus is
W=-K_i = -500000 J
And the work done is negative, because the force applied by the brake is in the opposite direction to that of the bus motion.

What is the weight of a 48 kg girl on Earth? Rounded to the nearest whole number
Levart [38]

Answer:

471 N

Explanation:

Weight is just another word for the force of gravity.

​Weight is a force that acts at all times on all objects near Earth. The Earth pulls on all objects with a force of gravity downward toward the center of the Earth (g-9.81 m/s2)

so we can simply say

weight =mass * gravitaitonal acceleraition

           = 48 * 9.81

            =470.88 N

            = 471 N
