A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.

At this time, the rocket runs out of fuel and turns off, and the car deploys a parachute to slow down, and the parachute performs 36,733 J of work on the car.

What is the final speed of the car after this work is performed?

9.43 m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we calculate the final kinetic energy of the car.

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the car is equal to its change in kinetic energy:

where

W = -36.733 J is the work done on the car (negative because the car is slowing down, so the work is done in the direction opposite to the motion of the car)

is the final kinetic energy

is the initial kinetic energy

Solving,

Now we can find the final speed of the car by using the formula for kinetic energy

where

m = 661 kg is the mass of the car

v is its final speed

Solving for v, we find
