A car of mass 10.0 ks traveling at 5.00 m/s comes to rest due to friction after traveling 20.0 m. What is the work done on the car by the friction?

A. –125 J

B. –50 J

C. 50 J

D. 125 J

Respuesta :

 The work done on the car due to friction is -125 J.

What is workdone?

Work is said to be done when a force moves an object through a certain distance.

To calculate the workdone on the car by friction, we use the formula below

Formula:

  • W = m(v²-u²)/2.......... Equation 1

 

Where:

  • W = Work done due to fricion
  • m = mass of the car
  • v = Final velocity
  • u = Initial velocity

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 10 kg
  • v = 0 m/s
  • u = 5 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • W = 10(0²-5²)/2
  • W = 5(-25)
  • W = -125 J

Hence, The work done on the car due to friction is -125 J.
