All questions of Work, Energy and Power for Class 10 Exam

A car of mass 800 kg slows from 20 m/s to 5 m/s due to brakes. What is the work done by the braking force?
  • a)
    -60,000 J
  • b)
    -120,000 J
  • c)
    -150,000 J
  • d)
    -200,000 J
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

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.
