A vehicle of mass 840 kg is moving on a straight and level road at 72 Km / h. Suddenly, the brakes are applied reducing the speed to 36 km / h. Calculate the work of the force exerted by the brakes on the variation of speed.

Answers (1)

Mass = 840 kg,  
Initial velocity = 72 km/hr = 72 × 5/18 = 20 m/s          
Final Velocity = 36 km/hr = 36× 5/18 = 10 m/s
Work by force = Change in Kinetic Energy
