Work needed: 720 J
Explanation:
The work needed to stretch a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is stretched, which is given by
where
k is the spring constant
x is the stretching of the spring from the equilibrium position
In this problem, we have
E = 90 J (work done to stretch the spring)
x = 0.2 m (stretching)
Therefore, the spring constant is
Now we can find what is the work done to stretch the spring by an additional 0.4 m, that means to a total displacement of
x = 0.2 + 0.4 = 0.6 m
Substituting,
Therefore, the additional work needed is

According to the Work-Energy Theorem, the work done on an object is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object:
Since the car ends with a kinetic energy of 0J (because it stops), then the work needed to stop the car is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the car:
Replace m=1100kg and v=112km/h. Write the speed in m/s. Remember that 1m/s = 3.6km/h:
Therefore, the answer is: 532,346 J.
