3.6 A 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?

3.6 The speed of the car = 126 kmph = (126 * 1000/3600) m/sec = 35 m/s
From the relation V2 = U2 + 2fs, where Final velocity V = 0, U = 35 m/s, s = 200m, we get retardation, f = -U2/2s= 3.06 m2/s
From the relation V = U – ft, we get t = U/f = 35/3.06 = 11.42 s.
