Question

A truck accidentally rolls down a driveway for 8.0\,\text m8.0m8, point, 0, start text, m, end text while a person pushes against the truck with a force of 850\,\text N850N850, start text, N, end text to bring it to a stop. What is the change in kinetic energy for the truck?

Answer 1

Answer:-6800

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to work energy theorem

change in kinetic energy of truck = work done against it

work done against it = force x displacement

= - 850 x 8 = 6800 J

change in kinetic energy of truck = - 6800 J .

energy will be reduced by 6800 J
