Hi there !!
Here's your answer :)

Given that ,
The car is moving with a velocity of 12m/s
Initial velocity (u) = 12m/s
Final velocity (v) = 0m/s [ the car comes to rest ]
Time (t) = 6 sec
Let the acceleration be a

To find the acceleration ,
We know,

a = v-u/t
= 0 - 12/6 = -12/6 = -2

Thus,
The acceleration is 2m/s² in the direction opposite to that of motion.

To find the distance , we will use the 3rd equation of motion
That is,

2as = v² - u²
2(-2)(s) = 0² - 12²
-4s = -144
4s = 144
s = 36

Thus,
The distance is 36 m
