In order to determine the required force to stop the car, proceed as follow:
Calculate the deceleration of the car, by using the following formula:
where,
v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)
vo: initial speed = 36m/s
x: distance traveled = 980m
a: deceleration of the car= ?
Solve the equation above for a, replace the values of the other parameters and simplify:
Next, consider that the formula for the force is:
where,
m: mass of the car = 820 kg
a: deceleration of the car = 0.66m/s^2
Replace the previous values and simplify:
Hence, the required force to stop the car is 542.20N
Answer: 585 J
Explanation:
We can calculate the work done during segment A by using the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the object:
where Kf is the final kinetic energy and Ki the initial kinetic energy. The initial kinetic energy is zero (because the initial velocity is 0), while the final kinetic energy is
The mass is m=1.3 kg, while the final velocity is v=30 m/s, so the work done is:
