If it is the same vehicle, then the 60mph vehicle has more kinetic energy since it is moving faster. Therefore, it requires more energy to stop, and if it is the same car with the same beak system, the braking distance of the 30mph car will be significantly shorter than the 60mph car.
Answer: W = 294 J
Explanation: Solution:
Work is expressed as the product of force and the distance of the object.
W = Fd where F = mg
W= Fd
= mg d
= 15 kg ( 9.8 m/s²) ( 2m )
= 294 J
Given:-
- Speed of the unicycle = 20 m/s
- Time taken = 15 s
To Find: Distance travelled by the unicycle.
We know,
s = vt
where,
- s = Distance travelled,
- v = Speed &
- t = Time taken.
Therefore,
s = (20 m/s)(15 s)
→ s = (20 m)(15)
→ s = 300 m (Ans.)
