Car moving along a straight highway with speed of 126 km h-1 is brought to a stop within a distance of 200 m. What is the retardation of the car (assumed uniform), and how long does it take for the car to stop ?

Answers
Hello mate here is your 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
Hope it helps! ✌️❤️
