The work required to stop the car is equal to the amount of kinetic energy that the car currently has. This is given by E=(1/2)mv^2. Since the energy is proportional to the square of the velocity, that factor will have the greatest influence on the work required to stop it.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

2744Nm

Explanation:

The gravitational field is conservative. The gravitational force only acts on a vertical direction. Hence, independently of the form of the trajectory, the work done by the gravity against the person demands the calculation of the integral of the force multiplied by the vertical displacement of the person:

W_g=\int_0^{4}Mgdz=Mg[4]=(70kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(4m)=2744Nm

where we have taken that the displacement of the person h=z and df=dz.

hope this helps!!
