The weight of an object is the
force with which it is attracted to earth. The gravity of an object or body of
an object is high on earth than at the atmosphere. It has an average of
gravitational constant equal to 9.8066 or 9.8 meters per second. In truth, the acceleration
of the object depend upon its location, the latitude and altitude, on
earth.

Answer:
<em>58,800Joules</em>
Explanation:
The energy lost is equal to the workdone by the car as it skids.
Workdone = Force * Distance
Given
Force = 8000N
Get the distance using the equation of motion
v² = u² - 2gS
0² = 12² - 2(9.8)S
-12² = - 2(9.8)S
-144 = -19.6S
S = 144/19.6
S = 7.35m
Calculate the required energy
Workdone = 8000 * 7.35
Workdone = 58,800Joules
<em>Hence the energy lost due to friction is 58,800Joules</em>
A non-contact force is a force which acts on an object without coming physically in contact with it. In contrast a contact force is a force which acts on an object coming physically in contact with it. ...
