# A car traveling to the right with a speed \( v \) brakes to a stop in a distance \( d \). What is the work done on the car by the frictional force \( F \)? (Assume that the frictional force is constant)

A car traveling to the right with a speed \( v \) brakes to a stop in a distance \( d \). What is the work done on the car by the frictional force \( F \)? (Assume that the frictional force is constant)

- **A.** \[W = Fd\]
- **B.** \[W = -Fd\]
- **C.** \[W = 0\]
- **D.** \[W = Fv\]
- **E.** \[W = -Fv\]
