1. A truck of mass 3120 kg is accelerated from rest to a speed of 22.1 m/s. How much work was done on the truck to achieve that speed?

Respuesta :

Answer:

.5(3120kg)(22.1m/s)^2 = 7.62x10^5 J

Explanation:

The work done on the truck to achieve given speed is [tex]7.62*10^{6}[/tex] Joules.

The work done on the truck is equivalent to the kinetic energy.

   Work done = Kinetic energy = [tex]\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}[/tex]

Where m is mass of truck and v is final velocity of truck.

Given that, [tex]m=3120Kg,v=22.1m/s[/tex]

Substitute values in above equation

                 [tex]Workdone=\frac{1}{2}*3120*(22.1)^{2} \\\\Workdone=0.5*3120*488.41=7.62*10^{6} KJ[/tex]

Thus,  The work done on the truck to achieve given speed is [tex]7.62*10^{6}[/tex] Joules.
