A car is moving along a straight highway with a speed of 126 kmph is bought to stop within a distance of 200m. What is the distance and the tme taken to stop the car?

Initial speed ,u = 126 km/h = 35 m/s
Distance travelled , S  = 200 m
Final speed  , V = 0  ( finally car stops)
Let a be the acceleration, and t be the time to stop car
 v2-u2=2as0-352=2a200a=-1225400=-3.06m/s2v=u+at0=35m/s-3.06m/s2tt=11.43s
time taken to stop car is 11.43 seconds
distance is 200 m
