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:
665 ft
Explanation:
Let d be the distance from the person to the monument. Note that d is perpendicular to the monument and would make 2 triangles with the monuments, 1 up and 1 down.
The side length of the up right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of elevation is 13 degrees is
Similarly, the side length of the down right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of depression is 4 degrees
Since the 2 sides length above make up the 200 foot monument, their total length is
0.231d + 0.07d = 200
0.301 d = 200
d = 200 / 0.301 = 665 ft
