Answer:
6.96 s
Explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s
- a = constant acceleration of the automobile =
- v = constant speed of the truck = 8.7 m/s
<u>Assume:</u>
- t = time instant at which the automobile overtakes the truck.
At the moment the automobile and the truck both meat each other the distance travel by both vehicles must be the same.
Since t = 0 s is the initial condition. So, they both meet again at t = 6.96 s such that the automobile overtakes the truck.
The correct answer is:
Work is negative, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system decreases.
In fact, the work-energy theorem states that the work done by the system is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:
In this problem, the variation of kinetic energy is negative (because the final velocity is less than the initial velocity), so the work is negative, and this means that the environment did work on the object, and its energy decreased.
