All questions of Work, Energy and Power for Class 10 Exam
Work by brakes = change in kinetic energy = 1/2 m (v² - u²)
Substitute: 1/2 × 800 × (5² - 20²) = 400 × (25 - 400)
Calculation: 400 × (-375) = -150,000 J
Conclusion: Brakes do -150,000 J (negative indicates removing energy); magnitude = 150 kJ.
