A test vehicle accelerating from rest to a speed of requires of net work. Assuming friction and air resistance are negligible, how much additional work must be done on the vehicle to increase its speed from to ?
- A
- B
- Cevap
- D
Cevap
The additional work required is .
According to the work-energy theorem, net work equals the change in kinetic energy (). Because kinetic energy is proportional to the square of velocity (), accelerating from rest to gives the vehicle of kinetic energy. At , the speed is doubled, which quadruples the total kinetic energy to . The additional work required to increase the speed from to is therefore .
