A cyclist comes to a skidding stop in \(10 \mathrm{~m}\). During this process, the force on the cycle due to the road is \(200 \mathrm{~N}\) and is directly opposite to the motion. How much work does the road do on the cycle?

  1. A \(2000 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(-2000 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(-1000 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D 0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-2000 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Displacement travelled by cyclist to reach skidding stop, \(s=10 \mathrm{~m}\) Force on the cyclist due to road, \(F=200 \mathrm{~N}\) Since, force is applied directly opposite to motion (or displacement), hence \(\theta=180^{\circ}\) \(\therefore\) Work done by the road on the…
