Solution

The correct option is D 2×104J
Work done by an external force is the change in kinetic energy of the car.

ΔK=(KE)final(KE)initial

Finally, the car will stop so it's kinetic energy will be zero.

(KE)initial=12mv2

m=100 kg
v=20 ms1

(KE)initial=12×100×202

(KE)initial=2×104 J

work done=0(2×104) J

work done=(2×104) J
