a. By the work-energy theorem, the total work required to stop the car is equal to the change in its kinetic energy,

<em>W</em> = 0 - 1/2 (750 kg) (25 m/s)² ≈ -230 kJ

b. The car covers a distance <em>x</em> as it stops such that

<em>W</em> = (-725 N) <em>x</em>   ==>   <em>x</em> ≈ 320 m

How to convert acceleration to velocity.
Nana76 [90]

You can't. Velocity and acceleration measure two different things, so their units are incompatible. It's like asking, "How many meters does this book weigh?"

Maybe you mean "find" acceleration using given velocities, or a velocity function?

A motorist driving at 25 meters/second decelerates to
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Work done = 0.5*m*[(v2)^2 - (v1)^2]
where m is mass,
v2 and v1 are the velocities.

Given that m = 1.50 x 10^3 kg, v2 = -15 m/s (decelerates), v1 = 25 kg,

Work done = 0.5 * 1.50 x 10^3 * ((-15)^2 - 25^2) = 3 x 10^5 joules

Just ignore the negative value for the final result because work is a scalar quantity.
