The car eventually comes to rest.According to the work-energy theorem the work is related to the change in kinetic energy, Wnet = Δ KE = KEfinal - KEinitial.(a) Using the work-energy relationship, determine how much net work is done on the car from the brakes? Report the magnitude of the the work (positive value) even though the work from brakes will be negative since the car is slowing down._____ J(b) The brakes apply a force of 24000 N to the car in order to make it stop.

Determine the work that the sprinter does to increase her speed.arrow_forwardWhen an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for the mechanical energy loss due to frictional forces exerted on the car by the air and the road. If the power developed by the engine is 195 hp, estimate the total friction force acting on the car when it is moving at a speed of 30 m/s. One horsepower equals 746 W.arrow_forward

The skier can be treated as a point-like object. The skier starts at the top of the ball with very little speed and picks up speed while traveling along the surface of the snow. During this time, the only forces acting on the skier are the gravitational force applied by the Earth and the normal force applied by the snow. At the moment the radial line extending from the skier to the center of the ball defines an angle a with respect to a vertical line, the skier is about to lose contact with the ball.
