Calculate the work required to be done to stop a car of 1500 kg moving at a velocity of 60 km/h?

1 Answer

Solution :-

Given data:

The mass of the body = 1500 kg

Velocity v = 60 km/hr

\( = \frac{60\,\times\,100m}{3600s}\)

\( = \frac{50}{3}\,m/s\)

The work required to stop the car = kinetic energy change of the car

\( = \frac{1}{2}\,mv^2\,-\, \frac{1}{2}m(0)^2\)

\( = \frac{1}{2}\,\times\,(1500)\,\times(\frac{50}{3})^2\)
