Question
  1. Procopio is driving a car (m = 1000 kg) at v1 = 11.11 m/s when he stepped on the brakes. The car traveled a distance of s = 15 m before stopping completely. How much force F was needed to stop the car?

    The formula for the work done by the force F as the car traveled a distance s before stopping is:

    W = 

    By the work-energy theorem:

    W =  - K1 = -½2

    Combining these two equations for work and isolating F, we obtain an expression for F:

    F = 2/()

    Plugging in values, we know that 4.4 newtons of force is needed to stop the car.

     

    kindly box the answers so that I won't be confused. thank you!!
