Q.

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.)            [2023]


Ans.

(784)

For constant speed, WD by engine+WD by friction=0 [by WET]

WDengine=-WDfriction=-[-μmgx]

                  =0.04×500×9.8×4×103=784 kJ
