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.
