Yeah!! It is better to decrease the speed of the vehicle so the ejection of gases would happen in slow manner.... then you can save your gasoline
Yes it does (not to be mean its kinda stupid for you to ask)
Answer:
-589.05 J
Explanation:
Using work-kinetic energy theorem, the work done by friction = kinetic energy change of the base runner
So, W = ΔK
W = 1/2m(v₁² - v₀²) where m = mass of base runner = 72.9 kg, v₀ = initial speed of base runner = 4.02 m/s and v₁ = final speed of base runner = 0 m/s(since he stops as he reaches home base)
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
W = 1/2m(v₁² - v₀²)
W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg((0 m/s)² - (4.02 m/s)²)
W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg(0 m²/s² - 16.1604 m²/s²)
W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg(-16.1604 m²/s²)
W = 1/2 × (-1178.09316 kgm²/s²)
W = -589.04658 kgm²/s²
W = -589.047 J
W ≅ -589.05 J
