    A 8000N car was traveling at 12m/s when the brakes were applied, skidding to a stop in 4.0 seconds. To calculate the kinetic energy lost, the solution uses the formula K=1/2mv^2, plugging in the car's mass (8000N/g), velocity of 12m/s, and time to stop of 4.0 seconds. This calculates the kinetic energy lost as 59 kJ.

    Answer on Question #72201-Physics-Other

    A 8000-N car is traveling at 12m/s along a horizontal road when the brakes are applied. The car skids to a stop
    in 4.0 s. How much kinetic energy does the car lose in this time?

    Solution

    The weight of a car is

    𝑊 = 𝑚𝑔.

    The kinetic energy does the car lose in this time is

    𝑚𝑣 2 𝑊𝑣 2
    𝐾= =
    2 2𝑔

    (8000)122
    𝐾= = 59 𝑘𝐽.
    2(9.8)

    Answer: 59 kJ.
