Question

calculate the work done ro increase the speed of a 1500 kg vehicle from 72km/hr to 144km/h​

Answer 1

Answer:

Initial Velocity, u=54km/hr=15m/s

Final velocity , v=72km/hr=20m/s

Mass =1500kg

Initial kinetic energy

1500×15×15=168750J

Final kinetic energy

1

1500×20×20=300000J

So, change in kinetic energy = work done=300000−168750=131250J
