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.

Explanation:
Mass of baseball, m = 0.148 kg
Initial speed of the ball, u = 14.5 m/s
Final speed of the ball, v = 11.5 m/s
After crashing through the pane of a second-floor window, the ball shatters the glass as it passes through, and leaves the window at 11.5 m/s with no change of direction. So, the direction of the impulse that the glass imparts to the baseball is in opposite direction to the direction of the balls path.
The change in momentum of the ball is called impulse. It is given by :
Hence, this is the required solution.
