Answer:
Initial velocity u = 90 km/h =25 m/s
Final velocity v = 0 m/s (brought to rest)
Distance travelled s in coming to rest = 25 m
Using the relation,
v² - u² = 2 a s, where a is the acceleration
0² - 25² = 2 . a . 25,
a = - ( 625/50) = - 12.5 m/s². The retardation is 12.5 m/s² ( negative sign in a implies it is retardation).
