The work done in stopping the bus will be equal to change in its kinetic energy.
36 km/hr = 10 m/s
Initial kinetic energy = ½ x m x v2
                                 = ½ x 1000 kg x (10 m/s)2
                                 = 50000 Joules
Final kinetic energy = 0
 
Work done = | Change in kinetic energy | = 50000 J
