Answer:

-0.5 MW

Explanation:

For this we can use the principle of work and energy, which states that:

T₁ + ∑U₁₋₂ = T₂

Where T is kinetic energy (in situations one and two) and U is the sum of all work done (between situations one and two).

So, since the car is first moving with a kinetic energy of 0.5 MJ:

T₁ = 0.5 MJ = 0.5 · 10⁶ J

On top of this, we know that the car comes to a halt, using this as situation 2:

T₂ = 0 J

Filling in the equation:

⇒ 0.5 · 10⁶ + U = 0

⇒ U = -0.5· 10⁶ [W] (unit of work is watts)

       = -0.5 MW

Thinking about the sign convention, we see that the brake force will point to the back of the car (backward), and the distance the car will travel before stopping will be forward, oposite directions and thus negative work.

two cars start at the same point and drive in a straight line for 5km. At the end of the drive their distances are the same but
Anna11 [10]

A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction.  The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km.  But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.

Remember:

-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations

-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.

-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.
