Question

what is the work to be done to increase the speed of car from 54 kmph to 90 kmph if the mass of car is 1200 kg​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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

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

Mass =1500kg

Initial kinetic energy

1

mu

1

1500×15×15=168750J

Final kinetic energy

1

1500×20×20=300000J

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

I hope it will help you
