Define work. Write an expression for work in terms of force and displacement. State the $SI$ unit of work done.
(N/A) Work is defined as the product of the magnitude of the force applied on an object and the displacement of the object in the direction of the force.
The expression for work done $(W)$ is given by:
$W = F \times s$
Where $F$ is the force applied and $s$ is the displacement.
The $SI$ unit of work done is the joule $(J)$,where $1 \ J = 1 \ N \cdot m$.

Now,suppose after travelling a distance of $200 \,m$,this car collides with another stationary car $(B)$ of the same mass and comes to rest. Let its engine also stop at the same time. Now car $(B)$ starts moving on the same level road without its engine started. Find the speed of the car $(B)$ just after the collision.
