Answer:

[tex]W=2KJ[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass [tex]M=50kg[/tex]

Initial Velocity [tex]v_1=8m/s[/tex]

Final Velocity [tex]v_2=12m/s[/tex]

Generally the equation for Work-done is mathematically given by

W=\triangle K.E

Therefore

 [tex]W=0.5M(v_2^2-v_1^2)[/tex]

 [tex]W=0.5*50(12^2-8^2)[/tex]

 [tex]W=2KJ[/tex]
