Mass of car = 1000 kg
Initial velocity, u = 20 m/s
Final velocity, v = 10 m/s
Retardation = a
Distance covered = s
Using third equation of motion
v2 – u2 = 2as
as = -150
Work done,
W = Fs
F = ma
W = mas
as = -150
W = (1000)(150) = -150 kJ
Negative sign shows that the brakes are acting on the opposite direction of motion.
