A car moving along a straight highway with speed of 126km/h-1 is brought to a stop with a distance of 200m.what is the retardation of the car?

Initial velocity of the car, u = 126 km/h = 35 m/s
Final velocity of the car, v = 0
Distance covered by the car before coming to rest, s = 200 m
Retardation produced in the car = a
From third equation of motion, a can be calculated as:
V^2 - U^2 = 2aS
(0)^2 - (35)^2 = 2 . a . 200
a = ( 35×35)/(2× 200)
a= 3.06 m/ s^2
From first equation of motion, time (t) taken by the car to stop can be obtained as:
V = U + at
t = (V- U )/a = (-35)/(-3.06) = 11.44 sec
I hope, this will help you

Answer:
Initial velocity of the car, u = 126 km/h = 35 m/s
Final velocity of the car, v = 0
Distance covered by the car before coming to rest, s = 200 m
Retardation produced in the car = a
From third equation of motion, a can be calculated as:
v2 - u2 = 2as
(0)2 - (35)2 = 2 × a × 200
a = - 35 × 35 / 2 × 200 = - 3.06 ms-2
From first equation of motion, time (t) taken by the car to stop can be obtained as:
v = u + at
t = (v - u) / a = (- 35) / (-3.06) = 11.44 s
