Use the work-energy theorem to determine the force required to stop a 1000 kg car moving at a speed of 20.0 m/s if there is a di

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

4.44 kN in the opposite direction of acceleration.

Explanation:

Given that, the initial speed of the car is, $u=20m/s$

And the mass of the car is, $m=1000 kg$

The total distance covered by the car before stop, $s=45m$

And the final speed of the car is, $u=0m/s$

Now initial kinetic energy is,

$KE_{i}=\frac{1}{2}mu^{2}$

Substitute the value of u and m in the above equation, we get

$KE_{i}=\frac{1}{2}(1000kg)\times (20)^{2}\\KE_{i}=20000J$

Now final kinetic energy is,

$KE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

Substitute the value of v and m in the above equation, we get

$KE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}(1000kg)\times (0)^{2}\\KE_{i}=0J$

Now applying work energy theorem.

Work done= change in kinetic energy

Therefore,

$F.S=KE_{f}-KE_{i}\\F\times 45=(0-200000)J\\F=\frac{-200000J}{45}\\ F=-4444.44N\\F=-4.44kN$

Here, the force is negative because the force and acceleration in the opposite direction.
