Step 1
First, we need to convert the speeds from miles per hour (mls) to meters per second (m/s). We can use the conversion factor 1 mls = 0.44704 m/s. Initial speed (v1) = 23.0 mls * 0.44704 (m/s per mls) = 10.28192 m/s Final speed (v2) = 15.0 mls * 0.44704 (m/s per Show more…

A small truck has a mass of $2100 \mathrm{~kg}$. How much work is required to decrease the speed of the vehicle from $22.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{22.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}$ to $12.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{12.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}$ on a level road? Example 6-4
A small truck has a mass of 2100-kg. How much work is required to decrease the speed of the vehicle from 25.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s on a level road. Find the magnitude of the required work. Express answer in 2 significant figures in KJ in scientific notation.
