Answer:
Work done, W = 181238.4 J
Explanation:
We have,
Mass of a car, m = 1500 kg
Initial speed, u = 50 km/h = 13.88 m/s
Final speed, v = 75 km/h = 20.84 m/s
Let W is the work done. It is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car. So,
[tex]W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1500\times ((20.84)^2-(13.88)^2)\\\\W=181238.4\ J[/tex]
So, 181238.4 J of work was done by the car.
