उत्तर
Mass of the object, m = 20 kg
Total work done by the force = Change in the object's kinetic energy
= `1/2 mv^2 - 1/2 m u^2`
= `1/2 m (v^2 - u^2)`
u = 5ms−1, u = 2ms−1, m = 20 kg
= 4 × 5
= 20
Hence, work done = `1/2m (v^2 - u^2)`
= `1/2 xx 20 [(2)^2 - (5)^2]`
= 10 × (−21)
= −210 J
The force will do work equivalent to 210 J. Here, the direction of force is opposite the direction of motion.
