Mass of car, m = 1500 kg
velocity, v = 60 km/h = 60 \times \frac{5}{18}=16.67\ ms^{-1}60×185​=16.67 ms−1 

Kinetic energy possessed by the car = \frac{1}{2}21​ mv² 
⇒ KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 1500 \times 16.67^2=208416.7\ J=208.4\ kJ21​×1500×16.672=208416.7 J=208.4 kJ

To stop the car, we have to make the KE of car 0. So the work need to be done is 204.4 KJ.

Hey there!

Given,

Mass of car (m) = 1500 kg

Velocity of car ( v) = 60 km/h = 60 * 5/18 m/s

Work done = ?

Here,

Work done = Kinetic Energy

                  = 1/2 * mv²

                  = 1/2 * 1500 * 60 * (5/18) J

                  = 20.8 × 10⁴ J (←Answer)

Hope It Helps You!
