Work by a Constant Force

To maintain a speed of 80 km/h by a bus of mass 500 kg on a plane rough road for 4 km distance, the work done by the engine of the bus will be ____________ kJ. [The coefficient of friction between tyre of bus and road is 0.04.]

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 784

  1. Constant speed, so engine force = friction =μmg=0.04×500×9.8=196= \mu mg = 0.04 \times 500 \times 9.8 = 196 N
  2. W=Fd=196×4000=784000W = F d = 196 \times 4000 = 784000 J
  3. Work done by the engine =784= 784 kJ.
