- A car with mass 1520 kg is traveling down the highway at a speed of 18 m/s when the driver slams on the brakes due to an accident up ahead. 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.

The 73-kg jumper left the ramp about 45 m lower than his starting position. After hitting the ground, the jumper crashed wildly and descended down the hill another 20 vertical meters before coming to rest. Here, friction cannot be ignored. Calculate the total work done on the ski jumper to bring him to rest. Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.arrow_forward
