Answer:

Work done, W = −287500 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 920 kg

The car is travelling at a speed of, u = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

We need to find the amount of work must be done to stop this car. The final velocity of the car, v = 0

Work done is also defined as the change in kinetic energy of an object i.e.

W=\Delta K

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 920\ kg(0-(25\ m/s)^2)

W = −287500 Joules

Negative sign shows the work done is done is opposite direction.

Here we can use the work energy theorem

W_f + W_s = K_f - K_i

here we know that

K_f = 0

as it come to rest finally

K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

K_i = \frac{1}{2}\times 1\times 2^2

K_i = 2 J

now work done by friction force will be given as

W_f = - F_f \times d = -\mu mg d

W_f = - \mu(1)(9.8)(0.10) = - 0.98\mu

Work done by spring force is given as

W_s = \frac{1}{2}k(x_i^2 - x_f^2)

W_s = \frac{1}{2}(10)( 0 - 0.10^2)

W_s = -0.05 J

so now plug in all data above

- 0.05 - \mu(0.98) = 0 - 2

\mu = 1.99

so above is the friction coefficient

What kind of charge does an object have when it has given away electrons?
Step2247 [10]
Electrons have a negative charge, so if you give away electrons, you give away negative charge, thus ending with a positive charge.
