A 10 kg object is initially moving at 12 m/s. After a force acts on it, the object slows down to 8 m/s. What is the work done on the object?
To solve this problem, we will use the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.
Calculate the initial kinetic energy
The initial velocity of the object is , and the mass is .
The initial kinetic energy () is:
