For the work-energy theorem, the work needed to stop the bus is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:
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:
, so the work done by the brakes to stop the bus is
And the work done is negative, because the force applied by the brake is in the opposite direction to that of the bus motion.

Answer:
1. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is at the midpoint is - 2.9 x J
2. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge is - 5.04 x J
Explanation:
given information:
= 3 nC = 3 x
C
= 2 nC = 2 x
C
r = 50 cm = 0.5 m
the electric potential energy of the electron when it is at the midpoint
potential energy of the charge, F
F = k
where
k = constant (8.99 x )
electron charge, = - 1.6 x
C
since it is measured at the midpoint,
r =
= 0.25 m
thus,
F =
= k + k
= (
)
= (8.99 x )( - 1.6 x
)(3 x
+2 x
)/0.25
= - 2.9 x J
the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge
= 10 cm = 0.1 m
= 0.5 - 0.1 = 0.4 m
F = k + k
= (
+
)
= (8.99 x )( - 1.6 x
)(3 x
/0.1+2 x
/0.4)
= - 5.04 x J
