I am not sure which formula to use for these. I've tried a few different ways and cannot get the correct answer. 

 

 

1. If a force of 6.0 N acted on a 0.50-kg block for a distance of 8.0 m, what would be the velocity of the block? (Assume the block is initially at rest.)

 

 

2. (a) What is the kinetic energy in joules of a 1080-kg automobile traveling at 96 km/h?

    (b) How much work would have to be done to bring a 1080-kg automobile traveling at 96 km/h to a                   stop?

Work = force x distance

            6 N x 8 M = 48 N-M

    Kinteic enrgy = 1/2 mv^2 = work = 48 N-M       (the m in 1/2 mv^2 is the mass)

                          = 1/2 (.5 kg) v^2 = 48 N-M

                             so v= 13.86 M/s

 

2:    KE =  1/2 1080 kg *( 96 km/hr * 1000m/km * 1hr/3600sec)^2 = 384 kj 

    (the stuff in red is converting to m/s from km/hr     kj=kilojoule)

     The work required to stop the auto is equal to the K.E    384 kj
