Question

1]What is the work done in moving a vehicle from rest to a fixed position with velocity 'V/2'?

Answer 1

Answer:

When a object is moving with a constant velocity, it possess K.E

K.E=

2

1

×m×v

2

So, in order to bring the object to rest i.e its same magnitude of energy is required so, as the final final energy comes to zero.

v=60km/hr=16.66m/s

So, magnitude of work that needs to be done =

2

1

×m×v

2

Hence, work required to stop the car =

2

1

×1500×16.66
