What is the work to be done to increase the velocity of a car from 30 km/h-¹ to 60 km/h-¹ if the mass of the car is 1500 kg .
⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀
Mass of the car, m = 1500 kg
Initial velocity of the car, u = 30 km/h =
[converted km/h to m/s]
⠀
Final velocity of the car, v = 60 km/h =
[converted km/h to m/s]
⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀
⠀
According to the Work-Energy theorem or the relation between Kinetic energy and Work done - The work done on an object is the change in its kinetic energy.
⠀
So, Work done on the car = Change in the kinetic energy (K.E) of the car
=
where,
mass of the body = m
and the velocity with which the body is travelling = v
⠀
(taking out common)
⠀
Now, Substituting the values,
⠀
⠀
⠀
➼ Hence, the work to be done to increase the velocity of a car 30 km/h-¹ to 60 km/h-¹ from is 156250 joule, if the mass of the car is 1500 kg.
⠀
⠀
✏ Coversion from km/h to m/s
1 km = 1000m
1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 s
∴
∴
✠ Solution -
→ Mass of the car (m) = 1500 kg
→ Initial Velocity (u) = 30 km/h
→ Finally Velocity (v) = 60 km/h
✠We know that,

So, finding initial and final kinetic energy,
