1. A car gradually slows down as it brakes. From an energy perspective, this happens because of
energy losses due to friction.
a) Assuming the car weighs 1000 kg and is originally travelling at 8 m/s, calculate its kinetic
energy before it slows down.
b) After braking for a few seconds, the car is now travelling at 6 m/s. Calculate its new kinetic
energy.
c) How much energy did the car lose to friction? Explain your answer.
