Compute the speed at which the brakes began in km-hr


Consider a 1500 kg vehicle traveling at some unknown velocity and suddenly the brakes are applied and the vehicle is brought to a stop. Assume that the braking takes place over a 15 second time period, on level ground, and that you can neglect aerodynamic drag and tire friction. The amount of energy required to bring the vehicle to a stop is 600 KJ. Can you calculate the speed at which the brakes began in km/hr?
